Guys I need a good track wheel. I'd like the diameter to be 15-16", but 7"-8" wide. Does anyone know of anything like this that will fit a TC? Thanks guys.

lol don't listen to him..

i would recommend an SSR comp.. go to www.tirerack.com

keep in mind, you may not be able to fit a 15 over your stock brakes. ...

look for celica aftermarket wheels. the offset might not look right but it should be able to fit and work. i know a lot of em have 16x7, 16x8 aftermarket wheels that fit their cars. and in theory, they should fit our cars.

LOL...I though it was about somebody's mom

But yeah the SSR comp is a good choice for a lighweght track wheel..theres also Enkei racing wheels which are light and stronger than the SSRs.

The RPF1s in 15" sizes are under 10 lbs and in 16" sizes they are about 13lbs. Great racing wheel desingn used on Mclaren F1 cars and very popular in the Speed World Challenge series and Grand Am cup. Personally I agree that you should look for a 17" wheel as there is excellent tire selection in that size.

i'm becoming afraid that "track" means "drag"

rota slipstreams.... 16x8. and you dont have to spend an arm and a leg like you would for the ssr's.

why not stick with 17" rims.

i really tink the 17's for track is perfect. sidewall isnt to big nor is it to small. and for you people with bigger brakes too, the 17s fit that stuff...

what about Motegi Trak_Lite?

I personally like those..but I believe they only come in black...in my case thats what Im doin..

good wheel, but way too expensive for what you really get IMO.. i mean, motegi hasn't really proven themselves to be that great of a wheel company.. sure sure, teh trak-lite is forged, but does that make up for the 22lb 15" motegi MR7's of 1999? (i jest..)

when he said Track probably he meant drag racing track. So probably he wants small rims with fat soft tires.
