There are zero rims made for direct stock replacement.
Certainly not for autocross.

I have been on a feverish hunt to find wheels in the following specs:

17x7.5" 5x114.3 wheels with an offset of 25 to 30.
17x8" 5x114.3 wheels with an offset of 28-33.

This is god slammed rediculous! I can't be the only autoxer looking for rims!

Enkei RPF1's are all sold out everywhere. I mean everywhere. National backorder until "T.B.A." Not to mention that the offset on the 17x7.5 is like forty freaking eight, and I don't want to run spacers.
The 5Zigen FNO1R's don't come in a 17x7.5, but they do come in a 17x8. But guess what? Offset is 25.

F to the U to the C to the K

 

Luke with Discount Tire's email reply:

Sorry, we do not have any wheels of that specification.




Key word being ANY

 

looks like custom wheels are in your future.

www.ccwheel.com

quoted for 2050 for 17x9 F and 17x10 R.

would probably cost you around $2000.

i remember somebody selling a set of custom made enthusiast fitment wheels for fairly cheap on scca forums. will try to dig it up.

 

I feel you're pain. When I was looking I finally gave up and bought some nice wheels for the street, LE37s, and used my stock wheels for the R-comps.

Have you looked at Volks/Rays? Pricey, but light.

If you're interested I may be selling one of my sets of Track wheels. Not BS legal for you're car, which I kinda agree is BS, but I'm not sure who'll care around here. I got to drive Stephen's STi again...........DAMN.....decisions

mike

 

mike, you were DIRTY in the rankins mobile on sunday..

i got to drive a 90hp integra.. i guess i'm just not meant for low hp momentum cars... my best was a 67. so poor!

 

My 2 cents - just use the stock wheels and stuff some 275 tires on them. Otherwise just forget about staying in BS and buy some nice wide 17's that will really do the car justice.

 

Well f uck me sideways, I didn't know this was you Mike. I thought you meant that was your username on the CCR forum. ha.

If you are selling a set of the track wheels let me know, I'd like a set of those regardless.... I'll send you a PM

I still haven't driven Steven's car. I doubt he'd evere let me, I don't think he cares much for me for some reason.

So you talk to him any more about the STU2?

Yeah, I've looked at Rays and Volk..... and I don't really want to spend $2k just for the metal rollers.

 

???? Where were you? 67 on the Lowe's track? My fastest was 50.2 and I think Mike went a 48.8?

 

Why would I want to run on the stock heavy-**** wheels and put some heavier-than-stock tires on there?? Not to mention that the tires don't last so long when you drive them daily......
I don't care about looks or size.... I care about function, and I want to race in a stock class......

 

For that much loot I'll go with Rays or something.....

 

we were in danville, va. i was driving a sts prepped acura integra 5 door. i was about 2 behind the owner who was the class winner. i need to learn how to drive! i think i was using too much brake.

i can see the stx2 class coming before the stu2 does..

 

www.forgeline.com - they can make you the wheels you want and let you pick a finish. PM me if you need more info.

Good luck!

Oh, I didn't even think of the other regions, and I was in Miami this past weekend.

And you were two seconds off of someone in the SAME CAR??? lol sorry, but lol! (now I know how Steve Shin feels.... Mike, you better not tell!!! haha)

 

I sent you a PM, and I hope they are not pricey as hell like the other custom wheels that were suggested earlier in the thread. To reiterate, at a costly point I would just opt for some Rays or Volks or whatever.

 

Can you get those in the proper size? If so go for it. Otherwise, keep looking for RPF1s.

I may have a set for sale after Nationals.

 

You can look at 5-Zigen FN0R1-C's or GN+

 

How does the offset rule handle staggered stock sizes? Could you run a 5zigen FNO1R-C in 17 x 8 +35? You have 6mm to play with in each direction, correct? So the front could be anywhere from +24 to +36 and the rear +27 to +39?

 

Yes, there are many rims that are over $400 each that fit the bill.

The Enkei RPF1's are not even good. I don't want to run spacers.....

I will exercise every option before I shell out tons of money for rims. I'll continue to post my findings.

 

Do read the thread before you post.

 

I though it was 5 each direction.

Fronts 25-35, but I obviously wouldn't want more than the stock of 30.
Rears 28-38 but I don't want to go over the stock of 33.

Not to mention that the only fno1r's that I can find in stock are 25 not 35.
