Autocross wheels, WTB: "Cheap", "Light" and stock sized?
Has anyone found a decent set of not expensive wheels in stock sizes and offsets? Specifically 18x7.5 ET49 and 18x8.5 ET52 with 5x120 lug holes?

I've certainly failed to come up with a set. The Breyton GTS-R that Gill@TireRack has said are coming meet the OE width requirement and are lightweight. Don't Solo rules allow variation from the OE offset up to 1/4" (6.4mm)?

Yes, you can vary in offset by up to 1/4" in the stock classes. Sure wish you could at least go narrower for wheel width; that would open up a lot of options in terms of better cost, if not better performance.

We're going to look at some 1 series cars in a few hours and hopefully we'll have some D-Force options for the E82 very soon. Edit: we already have an 18x8.5" now (D-Force EmPower, also in 18x9.5") but the front 18x7.5" is too skinny to bother with - so we won't be offering that option. Yes, you have a 1/4" width wiggle room in SCCA Stock. Ditching the run-flat tires will save a lot of weigh and improve ride quality and grip, also. Run flats = all bad. |

Why not sell an 18x7.5? I'm going to need a pair...

I don't think Fair is much interested stock classes, BimmerMeUp.
Hey Terry, did you hear that Tom Berry (BSP) blew up his Evo engine? |

D Stock Wheel Options - any updates?
Last I heard, finding a pair of fronts (D-Force) in 18 x 7.5 wasn't available. Any changes or any other options besides running the OEM wheels that anyone is aware of? Thanks.

I don't know of any currently available. Gill says TireRack should have the new Breyton GTS-R wheel in early July.
