Hey all,

New 350R owner here and loving it! Any suggestions for a second set of good, lightweight rims and tires for non track street use (NJ roads are brutal)? I want to save stock CF rims/tires for track.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'll guess you get a lot of recommendations for Signature Wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires for summer use. Cold weather use recommendations vary a bit more based on your plans (garage for winter, drive only in the dry above certain temp, drive in cold/wet but no snow, anything goes, etc.).

Contact Terrance with Signature. I am running a 19 x 11 on all 4 corners with the PS4's in 305's.

It will require a Cortex wheel spacer up front that can be had from him as well.

Now I can rotate side to side and front to back. I went with the Track Series SV501's to get the weight as closest to the factory CF wheels.

Yes, I'm learning toward the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. I think I can run them three season. Winter in NJ, car gets covered and tucked away for a long Winters nap.
I'll look into the Signature Wheels. Thanks for the info

Looks like Signature Wheels are popular. I'll check them out. Thanks!

I do you track my “R” and use the carbon fiber wheels for track only also. For around town I use the P51s along with the regular Michelin pilot super sports which comes on the 350. They are a 35 series tire which sits a little higher, and works well on 11 by 11.5 inch wheels.

michelin PS4’s I highly recommend. I purchased a set of OEM 350 wheels from the standard 350 to go on my car. They were cheap. And perfect for daily driving on the street.

I got them at autorimshop.com

They fit perfect. Just make sure to get open ended lug nuts, because your wheel studs are much longer for the carbon wheels. So you need open lugs for these wheels to work.
