I am looking for a 2nd set of wheels for road racing. I am driving a 98 DC2 GS-R. I am sticking with a 15 inch wheel possibally 7 inches wide, looking for something real light. Color does not matter since its not for show its all go. Money is no issue.

I have heard these would be good choices:

Kosei K1
Volk TE37
SSR Comps
Spoon 5 spoke
OZ leggera
Racing Hart

Seems that there are so many choices. I am looking for something strong and light since i will be taking these to the limit

 

Wow a buddy here at my dealership told that same thing like 5 mins ago. the Rotas with Falkens are now in the mix

agreed..... rotas should hold up fine for more than half the price


not knocking spoon or the others, they are the best quality avaiable .......

 

i say SW388 the 15's i think weigh 8.9 ot 9.8 pounds and they are better hen rota's

btw i'm only sayin spoon because you said $$ is not an issue but for myself i would ge slips

 

Personally, I would go with the Kosei K1s.

 

I personally like the ssr comps, but for racing...i'd run the spoons!!!! Thats if you have the money!

 

rota slipstreams for sure!

 

OZ Leggeras very nice wheels

 

does anyone know how much rota subzero weigh?

 

Volk Te37

Tooooo sexy

daddy like.....

 

try rota circuit 8 or circuit 10 they are the MF8 and MF10 knock offs. no matter what you have to get bronze.

 

I have the SSR comps and if I were to get a second set it would be the Volks in bronze

 

Thanks guys for the help!! I have decided to go with the bronze rota slips. best bang for the buck. and i will be able to spend a little more on tires now

what color car are they goin on?

 

if u like TE37s check out rota Grids. thats what i got. 15x6.5 with 205/50 yokohama avs es100s for less than 800 shipped.

 

It's a White DC2.

 

volks.....

 

i say go with some Volk Te37 or Racing Hart CP-R's

 

I recommend a 7" wide wheel. I don't know if Rota makes a 15x7 wheel, but I know that Slipstreams, C8's and C10's are only 6.5" in 15" size.

I would go with the Kosei K1 as probably the lowest priced 15x7 wheel, and they're pretty light, too.

 

Yes, rota does make the slips in 15x7

 

rota makes a 15x7 Rota GT3 comming out soon

o and rota does make 15x7 Slipstreams but not the c8 or c10

what do those typically run for?

 

Depends on the size

http://www.machiii.net/wheels/volk/TE37.html They range from 13X8.0 inches for 319.55 each to 18X9.5 at 568.55 each.

 

gawd damn...they look nice...but not 1200 dollars nice

Now I know why ricers put steelies up front... (other than stupidity)
