New Wheels...

[ReplicaR]

Those are Volk Racing TE37 knock offs I think. I remember researching ROTA wheels back when I was looking for a set of SlipStreams for my VW, and rota seemed like a good alternative with low cost, and extremely low weight. The key thing is to stay away from thin spoked wheels, as they tend to crack very easily.

i always like something different, they look good. how much did they cost? I remember you posting a thread a while back about them, glad you went for them!

How much did they end up weighing, since your road racing less rotating mass is better(I think I got that right, correct me if Im wrong)

The fronts (17x9) were about 20 lbs, the rears (17x9.5) were about 21. Not too bad. And yes, your are correct. Rotational mass is an extremely important factor in road racing. Its much more important to get rid of than dead weight on the body.

Looks pretty good, and unique.. What size tires are you running with those wheels? They look a bit stretched.

yeah, there 255's.. i need a least 275's in the rear... but when they go on my race car, i have 275's an all four (TOYO R888 R compounds.

They look very similar to Volk Racing TE37's, but these are 5 spoke.

Very nice. I love when people switch it up and go for something other then the norm.

You're right, I completely forgot that TE37s are 6 spokes. They do look like some kind of Volk Racing wheel though.

Looks good, stepping away from the norm.

Not really my thing, but I've not generally been a fan of black wheels.
