    Looking for inexpensive/lightweight track wheels....Any ideas?

    Im looking for an inexpensive but lightweight set of track wheels that I could use for AutoXing.

    Anyone know of any that are lightweight and inexpensive? Looking to go with 17" wheels

    The Kosei K1 Racing will be available in a 17X8.5 for 199.00 per wheel at about 17 lbs. They are intransit and due the end of February.
    Give me a call if I can help.

    You can either run 235/40R17 or 245/40R17 with some modification. You would want to roll the fender lip and probably run more negative camber. You can check the tire options on our web site. You would need to decide what kind of tire you are looking for. The Hoosiers are the best handling but the least wear.
