Does anyone else here hate the fact that barely any wheels fit the track model unless you spend like 4k on a set of multipiece custom wheels? If I could find a set that cleared the calipers I would love life

Tex Willer

there is plenty of wheels that will fit the brembos

bbs, volk, ssr, enkei, oz, etc...

but as a rule of thumb, cheapo rims aren't made for expensive brakes

My thoughts on that are: Why would you want to downgrade the rims? The rims that come on it are forged Rays Engineering, so why would you go with anything less? Upgrade not downgrade.

While I love the OEM Track wheels, they simply aren't wide enough. The Nismo wheels are though... (which will be my next purchase for the Z once I buy a replacement commuter car)...

we have aquite a number of inexpensive 18 and 19 inch wheels that clear the brembo - shoot me a PM or instant message and I'd be happy to show you some

the volks that come with the car are too plain, i want 19" staggered wheels, but I want to keep the lightweight of the wheels...

metalz

would anyone be interested in swapping a set of the track volks for a different set but 19" the tires are new

19 inch and lightweight really does not go hand in hand.

yeah, dunno if you're going to beat the volks w/ a 19" wheel... the OZ Superleggera III Forged wheels aren't too much heavier, i think they're 25 or so...

metalz

So in 19' is it pretty much known fact that the stockies are the lightest?

Racing Hart CP-F tuned wheels are extremely lightweight and will fit over the Brembos.

However, they are $4000 with tires.

You have to realize that the rays Treack wheels are very high quality and sell from dealers for $4000+

I know that the stock volks are quality and top notch but they are so plain i fall asleep when I look at my wheels

Has anyone tried to fit a 17" wheel on the Brembos? Will it fit? I was thinking about getting 17" for the track, because there are more tire options for 17". My current track set (a second set of OEM Track rims) works great, but the tire replacements are getting too expensive.

I know the wheels are boring ... thats why I sold them for these

Maybe you LIKE your stock wheels but suffer from narcolepsy. Maybe I can't spell narcolepsy.
Look, unless you plan on hitting the track anytime soon don't worry too much about wheel weight. On the street you'd be lucky to tap into 60% of what this car is capable of. Besides, our cars aren't exactly Miatas. A little bit of extra weight on a 3300 pound isn't that noticeable. Buy a set of reasonably priced 19" wheels and enjoy making heads turn.

maybe he wont track the car ... but I have to admit
the switch from the track wheels to the racing harts above was the worst thing I have done to the handling of my car yet. The heavier weight (23lbs) combined with the softer sidewall of the toyo 19s totally killed the "sportiness" i was used to in the car

I have since added Hotchis' tvs1 package and I know am happy with the way it handles .... but I cannot help but wonder what it would be like with the old rays wheel on the new suspension

Yes 17s fit over brembo.s Even the base model's 17's clear.

I went from the stock 17's (non rays) to 18 inch Works with T1S's and every aspect of the car improved. 19's would look even better though for the roads we have here, would not be practical
