Curious how many of you have a dedicated set of wheels & tires for auto-x?

 

Well, I kept my 17" wheels for track/autox use and I am shopping for some R compund tires to go on them, currently looking at the Kumho Victoracers V700 due to price, you don;t seem to carry those.

 

I have 3 sets of wheels:
For street, I have 17x9 Firehawk wheels with Nitto 275/40/17 555RII's.

For race, I have been using 17x9 2002 WS6 wheels with 275/40/17 Kuhmo V700 (both Victoracer and Ecsta).

I just aquired a set of four AFS 17x11 Grand Sport wheels (black with polished lip) that I plan to run 315/35/17 Nitto drag radials on all four corners for autox/track events. Before you laugh about the DR's, I have 2 friends that run them with great success.

 

As you know from our recent emails, I am pursuing another set of wheels for the track.

 

Getting ready to place an order for 5Zigen Black-ProN1
Front 17 x 8 will put 245 x40 x 17 V700 Kumo's
Rear 17 x 9 will put 275 x45 x17 V700 Kumo's

Can you get me a GOOD PRICE...j.zuramski@openfirst.com

2003 350 Z Touring....

 

just curious, did you mean 245/45 and 275/40, becuase I havent seen those other sizes listed. I think I'm going 255/40 all around.

 

2003Z...did you like the wheels I sent you in the email last nite? They are great options.

Joe...workin on it! I'll email you

 

yes, I'm thinking I will probably go with the 5 spoke enkei's since price/weight is more important than looks, even though they don't look bad either.

Any chance of getting kuhmo victorracers with them?

 

Hey..2003z...your right on those sizes...sure hope I drive/AutoX better than I type....Joe Z

PS...Look into the 5Zigen...Moderatly Priced and Not Bad Looking...

I am AutoXing against my son and the Porsche Club he belongs too...He has a well set up 944 Turbo....and he and some club members are suggesting the sizes mentioned...He usually runs in the top 3 for FTD....

 

Hes choosing.

RPO2-J 17x9 17.7lbs


rPF1 17x9 15.9lbs

 

As Todd said above, I ordered the RPO-2 in 17x9 with 255/40s all around from him yesterday!

Thanks for all the research and getting me those tires Todd!
