Default Race rims

I need a set of rims for a dc2 type r to mount race rubber.. With the 5 bolt are there any other cars that share this odd bolt spread? I heard about using a set of 10 spoke Mazda rims... are there any others?

what kind of race are you planning on running?

one lap of America?
autoX?
track days?
nasa?
etc.?

I ask since depending on the series you will be bound by some rules on the size of your wheel.

There are plenty of 15x7-15x7.5 wheels for 5x114.3" bolt pattern. If you require strong, quality wheels, you'll need to spend anywhere from $200/wheel and up.

15x6" is stock wheel size.

As per SCCA's rules on wheels for stock class:

13.4 Wheels
Any type wheel may be used provided it complies with the following: it is the same width and diameter as standard, and as installed (including wheel spacers if applicable) it does not have an offset more than +/- 0.25 inch from a standard wheel for the car. The resultant change in track dimensions is allowed. Vehicles originally equipped only with 12 inch diameter wheels, may use 13 inch diameter wheels of the same width as standard and offset within +/- 0.25 inch of standard.
Wheel spacers are permitted, provided the resultant combination complies with the offset requirements of this section. Wheel studs lug nuts, and/or bolt length may be changed.

Vehicles equipped with rims having metric specifications may use alternate rims as determined by using the following procedure.

Diameter: converting the metric measurement to inches and using the nearest smaller inch diameter rim.
Width: converting the metric measurement to inches and using the nearest smaller 1/2-inch width rim. Offset and track must still comply with the requirements of this section.

They will not be 15x6.

I have a set of ITR wheels that are going up for sale soon, pretty reasonable in price. They arent show quality, but they're not bent and could be stripped/ refinished if you have the time...
