Hi Guys,

I currently have stock 19"staggered wheels with PP Brembo's and i'm looking for some ideas on light weight but still strong wheels to use on track/circuit racing. Want to stay with 19" and keep the staggered look and have possibly 295 or 305 on the rear.
So what are my options?
High-quality wheels which are both strong and lightweight often come at a higher price tag as you might already know. HRE Forged wheels may not be in everyone's budget, but our FlowForm wheels certainly are and even more so now because we have our 25% off sale currently.

The question I have is, are you trying to stay under a certain set budget? If yes then that'll certainly help with taking off some options that may be too pricey.

Where do you draw the line in terms of quality/construction? Are you looking for a wheel manufacturer that has motorsports experience or maybe has certain safety certifications that you'd like to verify? I agree with you, safety/durability is extremely important when you're on track traveling at very high speeds, and from my personal experience racing, the last thing you want to worry about is the durability of a wheel or any part for that matter while you're navigating traffic on track.

Lastly, any particular style that you're interested in or since you're asking for options are you just getting a feel for things?

I guess you don't want to sell me any then?

Oh well, I'll find 'em!
The only bolt on fitment I'd recommend is the 18x10+40 TE37 and 18x10+39 TE37RT

The 19" in the picture Paul posted were part of a small one time order. There's one set left last I checked.


Then there are 20x10 te37 Ultras that will also work

These are 18x10 TE37RT on my old car

These are 20x10 front and 20x12 rear on my old car as well(20x12 is disconinued but a few new sets still exist.)

And to note.

18s and 19s need to have the lug holes drilled out to fit over the oem studs or switch to arp 1/2 studs
20s require no modification
