Had to sit out most of this past weekend's track day at Sebring because of a wheel problem. My HRE's are out of true.

I need to get a new set of wheels for the track and I want to go to 18". I have 350mm GT3 rotors up front.

Any suggestions?

 

Do you still have your stock wheels? use them, excellent for track use

 

complete custom wheels makes raceworthy wheels and is reasonably
priced. They can get any custom backspacing to within a millimeter
or so. www.ccwheel.com. Their classic track wheel is from $2200 per set!
I race with them in 18", 9.5" front, and 11 rear for the tires I run now. I
use to have a 12" rear, but I had them send me a new inner half to narrow
it to 11".

^ yeah those classics are money! especially for tracking. take into consideration how much u will be using them on the street when choosing ur option... i'd say buy these in the "tracking version" and ONLY use them doing that. then get urself a nice setup for the street

 

I wish. Do the stock turbo wheels fit the GT3 brake rotors?

 

Those are very nice wheels. I sent them an email asking about weight.

 

Hi Dirty Mac

I ve used stock hollow spoke wheels and they were fine.

Also, I'm very interested in feedback about your GT3 rotors as I'm thinking of purchasing a used set.

How do they compare to stock ...all feedback is welcome.

 

Never used stock so I can't really comment on the difference. On the track they feel very good. I can't say I feel any significant fade even after an hour on the track. I wouldn't want to be using anything less. The one problem I have -- which would be worse on smaller discs -- is that the rotors don't last very long. I get about 6 track days out of a set. I guess that's the price you pay for threshold braking a 3,700 lbs car all day long. I am using the stock GT3 pads. I am going to be trying slotted rotors with Pagid yellow 29's next.

 

Thanks for the feedback.Yeah our cars are heavy.I don't plan on doing that much track days though.

I might hold off on them a little longer and see what else is out there that fits under 18 in wheels.

Good luck with your
