What Wheel/tire size/offset for handling
What wheel and tire size/offset would you recommend for optimum handling in 18" wheels/tires? I am going with I-forged 3-piece wheels, I have heard different recommendations from several very high end wheel manufactures. I was hoping that some of you guys that race would have a good idea of what size/offset I should go with, I would prefer listening to you rather than the techs that have never driven/seen the wheels yet. I am planning on racing next year in SCCA and I care about the handling more than I do ride quality.

How much did iforge quote you for wheels??? I spoke to them and they quoted me $1900 for a set of 18x9's in the front and 18x10's in the back...Seems reasonable. Hre wants $3600 for the same thing. I am still contemplating which offset I am going with. Also, I am going to wait until Eibach comes out with a spring kit for the car.....

Iforged,
Thanks alot!!!! Hey can you help me out on the pricing a bit, maybe match the quote for J's 350Z at $1900? That sounds much better to me! I will post pics for everyone when the car is completed, I am so excited!!!!!
As far as the SCCA rules, I was not aware of the wheel sizes, I guess I will hold onto my stock wheels so that I will be able to race solo II. Thanks alot for the info.

I figured something wasn't right. At $1900 I would like 100 sets !!! :-) You guys that are looking for aftermarket FORGED 3 piece wheels should check out these wheels at I-forged at http://www.iforged.com , With these available, why would anyone go with HRE???
