Recommendation for low cost track wheels/tires? OEM 2016 SS takeoffs?
I'm looking for a set of wheels/tires for track events for my '14 1LE. I have not seen any sets for sale used, so I'm thinking of a set of 2016 SS takeoffs.
I'd prefer a "square" fitment, so I can rotate the tires for wear. Also, would prefer going with a smaller diameter if possible. Any suggestions or insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I've had forgestar CF5's that have worked well. I did 20x10.5 but not square offsets. You could easily do 19x10. The prices are very reasonable for custom offset wheels.
Avoid the CF5V, they're too light and not strong enough for our portly cars without going fully forged. I would not use a cast wheel for track duty, minimum of rotary forged and forged if you will use something close to slicks. |

I had them over 6 piston Corvette calipers and AP Racing Calipers so I can not confirm, but I doubt it.
They are very easy to cut off.....If you're buying 18s to track a car you should probably replace the pads with something more aggressive at that time. Aftermarket pads don't have rollerskates.
