Brian where are you getting the wheels you described?

[panozracing]

Well, I have CCW wheels which are awesome racing rims. best 3 piece price around and repairable (which has been done many times) and light.

I am looking for a less expensive set for my rain rims and have not found anything yet. If you do let me know pls.

Brain What type of tires are you running + size. Thanks Les

[panozracing]

I run slicks usually 305 to 310 fronts by 650 and the rears are 325 to 330 by 700-705 depending on mfg'er

I'm looking to get rims for my Michelin competition (non-DOT) rain tires. I cant remember the size but probably very similar to above. 11" fronts and 12" rears seem to be working well.

Got any ideas?

Thanks for your answers, one more quesrion what tire mfg do you think is the best for our type of car. I've been running Kuhmo and have had good luck with them. Thanks Les

i dont run DOT tires so I may not have good info for you.

I have run Pirelli, Michelin's, and Hankook (pro sponsor team tires only) with great success. I have also run Yokohamma's and they were not good without a totally new setup. Same with Hoosier slicks.

Michelins and Pirelli's seem to like our cars -- I just finished the set of Hoosier slicks and did not like them as well as the Pirelli's.

Eric swears on the Michelins -- those are up next.

I am trying to work a deal to buy some BBS 16" Wheels and I am going to run Goodyear. The tires are about the price as Hoosiers. They can't be all that bad plus I plan on running some Trans Am races and you have to run Goodyears in that series.
