wheels and tires for S2K, (or a Subaru)

[jimrankin]

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.

Hope you went with some wider rims while you were at it...

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.

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.

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)
