track wheels?!

[Mathias]

looking for a set of track wheels but something different from the normal team dynamics or oz wheels etc

im currently thinking of getting some weller's? however the wheels im looking at are 10kg each? :panic:

what do the oz / team dynamics wheels weigh in comparison?

[AlexB]

Oz superleggera iirc 4.4kg
Ultraleggera 4.7

Dunno others

[Mathias]

wow! large difference! may get these for now as they are a good price then change down the line

[axsaxoman]

billet split rims under 4kgs

[Ryan]

Race line rl7s still get my vote, when you can find used ones.

[MiniGibbo]

10kg christ!

My 17" forged motorsports are only 8kg!!

[JoshB]

Rota Attack are a good shout if you can find them, sub 5kg's.

Also, Dezent (or however they spell it) do some cheapo "lightweight" rims that weigh in a smidge over 6kg's, but for the price theyre a good buy..

Team Dynamics 1.2's, or whatever, are allover the used market.

Steelies. From another thread...

C2 'steelies' = 4.8kg ea x4 = 19.2kg



And from another C5 steel/alloy rim part no. 5401.L7 (without tyre) = 4.720kg x4

Dedicated set ftw :) #needinmylife

steelies have crap brake coverage and cooling, they have also been known to flex from the heat.

Light isnt always the best either, espec if you are someone who likes clipping the apex and the track has a rather agressive curb. Sometimes a superlightweight wheel can be a bit more brittle.

[Morgan_VTR]

Never know there were issues of material integrity? Are you telling me steelies have 'broken' on track?

I'm abit confused 'brake coverage' but I agree with the cooling. Surely you have to be running a big brake setup (plus 300mm?) to generate enough heat to flex a steel wheel... idk.


Not doubting you, just want explaining.

[Ryan]

Steroids generally bend and buckle, I'm on about some super light cheap alloys sometimes fracture which isn't great.

Brake coverage - you can't run big brakes behind then with ease, the disc size isn't the issue as such but the calliper.

I have one set of rotas with R1r and two sets of o.z superlegg with r888.

:)

[sexy_gt]

Have broken a superlegg before but slid over apex sideways at bedford gt :(

[MiniGibbo]

I put a flat spot on one of my forged rims kerb clipping which takes some doing let alone these real light weight rims..

[simmo]

I have the C5 steelies on the pug still if you want me to weigh one with a t1r on for you?

Got 1.2's with crap tyres on aswel if you want me to weight that?

Infact i can weigh a ultraleggera with a t1r on aswel if you like?

[MiniGibbo]

Pointless weighing wheels with tyres as every wheel has different wheel weights..

selling any of these?

[AlexB]

Haha i was about to ask about the ultralegs aswell haha

weights are measured in grams, 1kg = 1000grams. you arent going to use a 1000grams of weight to balance a wheel lmao|!!!!!!

[mangojace]

i dont use tyres i just use rims,i haz get sparks YO

Differences are differences faggot.

LOL, but thats just pathetic....ironic.

steel wheels will take more abuse generally than most after market alloys ,unless you are paying lots of money for split rim types ,which of course you can replace one half of the rim seperate from the hub ,so its cheaper in the long run if you intend to keep bending rims - brake cooling --doubt that will be a problem on a track day

[simmo]

Unfortunatly im using all my wheels :P

Serious question kinda off topic..

if im thinking of using 283mm brakes with either brembo's or bosch(?) calipers will i have enough clearence with the c5 steelies?

[AlexB]

Lea had spacers on his c5s to fit brembos but like bosch gti6 calipers you should be ok i think
