First, the car: 1G AWD w/big brake upgrade (2piston)

I need to find a set of lightweight 15"x6" rims for autocrossing that will fit over the 2piston calipers and have the correct offset. I can't have the tire sticking out.

Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Just to expand a little...why do I want 15's you wonder?
I have a source for used 205-50R15 R compound tires and I want the smaller rolling diameter so that I can run most courses in 2nd gear without bogging down coming out of pin-turns.
Actually, the offset doesn't really matter since the rules permit the tire to stick out from the body work.

Regards,
Tashko.

If you are willing to spend a little,

Motegi Trak Lite

15x6.5, 5x114.3 bolt, 35mm offset, 10 lbs.

$300 list per wheel

Almost perfect for an autoXer

300hp Talon to a 50hp Citroen. Lovely ain't it?
Back to another Mits.
A Mirage Cyborg as a future 4G63T candidate.

Thanks for the recommendation Jeremy.

It's happened quickly but I just bought a set of Kosei K1 Racing 15x6 45mm offset with Toyo RA1's mounted/balanced. laugh
I can't wait to try them out at the solo2 in Barrie this Sunday! --> http://www.twinlakesmc.org/

It'll be nice not to have to use first gear...now to sort out that pesky power steering cut!
