I have recently started autocrossing and want to get a set of really sticky tires and some lightweight wheels to put them on, I'd apreciate any recomendations y'all have for these.

Wheels: I'm looking for 17x7.5" I don't care about brands and whatnot, just that they're light, have the proper offset and won't make the tires rub.

Tires: I'm in a street tire class so slicks are out of the question, and I'm restricted to 225 width. I don't care about ride quality, just that they have a treadwear rating of no lower than 140 and provide lots of grip and responsive handling (they're only going to get used in competition, so long life isn't a necessity).

I look forward to seeing what y'all have to say.

lets see,
konig makes some lightweight wheels, but theyre not all that nice looking, imo.

id rather have a set of gramlights, but those get really pricey...

tires, not so sure, im on my lunch break right now, i dont have time to help ya out right now...

 

I was thinking Enkei RP F-1's for the wheels (found them recently and like the look a lot), I agree with you on Konig's stuff.

I think I'm going with the Enkei RP F-1's and a set of Bridgestone Potenza REO1R's. If y'all have had negative experiences (I'm not talking about their lack of tread life, these will be autocross tires only) with these let me know soon, I'm looking to have these things by next week. I'd apreciate any help y'all can give me.

Dear Sir;
Hereby I would like to introduce our product－SecuTire™ System[/i][/b] [/i][/b]to you. It
is a proven [/i]unique [/i]solution for automatic tire pressure monitoring. Kysonix developed small sensor/ transmitters that can be locked onto the valve stem of autos and trucks and transmit a wireless signal when pressure drops by a customer specified percentage (default 15%).
It[/i][/b] stands out from other tire monitoring systems in these ways:[/i][/b]
1. [/i]We monitor the pressure DIRECTLY, not by distance from the ground, temperature, or some other predictive scheme. [/i]
2. [/i]Our light-weight sensor/transmitter is attached and locked onto the valve stem with a special key. Proven reliable at ultra high speeds and fully sealed against weather and sloppy road conditions. [/i]
3. [/i]The sensors transmit wirelessly to a panel or portable display. [/i]
4. [/i]We do not require anything to be installed INSIDE of the tire. (Not only a hassle, but just try transmitting through the wire web in tires!) [/i]
5. [/i]We use a reliable aerospace-developed membrane to trigger a visual and audible alarm when pressure drops below a threshold, set at the factory at 28 psi for passenger cars but can be specified by customer when ordered. [/i]
6. [/i]We do not try to transmit actual pressure readings which require expensive transducers and frequent calibrations. [/i]
7. [/i]We can handle cars, RVs, trucks and trailers with coded signals that tell you which tire is low without cross talk, even with fleets parked together. [/i]
8. [/i]Button batteries in the sensors last about 3 years, as they are not used unless the pressure threshold is crossed. The panel monitor will indicate when batteries need replacing on a particular tire. [/i]
9. [/i]Our system was tested in a group of six systems by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and we had the fastest response time, tied for the best accuracy, and was the only one that worked for higher pressure truck tires (20 to 130 psi).[/i]

We are seeking dealers and resellers who are interested in grabbing this new opportunity in an awakening market. Many people will become aware of the dangers of under-inflated tires, thanks to the U.S. TREAD Act. legal requirement for TPMS on new cars starting Nov. this year.

Call or email me if you have question or to order a sample system to test. Refer the attached file for price and quotation.

Best regards,
Shirley

...Gotta love spam. On the offchance that it wasn't, I'm not looking for a pressure monitoring system only what people think about the tires and wheels i have mentioned above. These are going to be used for autocross so, a monitoring system would not only add weight, but also be a moot point as they will only be on the care for a couple of hours at a time.
