18" Track wheels

I'm looking for some track wheels for my Turbo S. 18x8.5 & 18x10 preferred.

Thanks,
Brian

Can I ask why you would want to use 18" over 17" wheels on the track?

I'm a believer in sticking with the stock setup.

I think it is cheaper to find tires for 18's than 17's

I have bought tires for my 944 turbo 18's and my 2007 Twin Turbo in 20's and the 20's were cheaper (same brand) go figure. It is supply and demand. Very few people buying 17" sport/slick/track tires these days.

Just my 2 cents

18's might be cheaper than 17's, but the stock 16's are cheaper still. and faster (less rotational mass).

Please call, e-mail or pm me. I have set up quite a large number of 944 race cars with wheels and tires.

A lot of people prefer the stock 16's for the track and some like 17's, but I don't know many that want 18's for the track. Tires and wheels are more $ and they are heavier.
