jimrankin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I have a set of four Motegi TrackLite Black Forged (not the cast version) 16 X 6 1/2" 5X100 wheels that are basically brand new and have Dunlop Direzza Sport Z-1 Star Spec 205-50-16 87V tires mounted and balanced on them. If someone is interested in the "wheels only" it's not a problem, I can use the tires on my MINI. These came with the S2K but I wanted a brighter, more "spoked" look and went with Power Silver Team Dynamics Wheels. PM me with your email if you want a photo or any info as no matter how low I set my pixel count I can't seem to post anything to this site.

Mondo Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hope you went with some wider rims while you were at it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Went to 8" fronts and 9" rears but after going through a tire and wheel clinic found out that for pure track speed and handling a car of our weight and horsepower will be faster with shorter and narrower street tires. That is offset for the width part if your running a really light sidewall ultra gummy tire like a Hoosier but still better "shorter" on either the street or track tire. I'm not a serious racer so the tall/wide (heavy) Nitto's I'm running now are fine for me as double duty track/street. The 6.5" rims will fit up to 225 tires on a light car as your not going to be running a lot of air in them. Probably going to put the tires on a set of my MINI 16" Enki track wheels since they are basically brand new and won't sell for half what a lesser quality tire set is going to cost me at Tire Rack.

m wirth Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Just a help for posting pics, I'm pretty much not tech savvy so I just use the paint program in accessories and under image, select stretch and skew reduce the size to 30%, import back to your pictures as #2 copy then pull that copy out when you want to post or send and email. mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Yeah, have to admit my tire size is more for vanity than speed. If I get serious about track days, I'll downsize (both diameter & width). I have a 3.90 rear end so 15in wheels would make a big difference. Right now, I'm just having a blast driving it around anywhere (until the heat sets in) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
