Can anyone recommend a good track wheel that wouldn't break the bank? Looking for 17" or 18". I see a lot of CCW used on the list but would like some suggestions. What should one reasonable plan to spend?

In other words, what is the best value (outside of factory wheels)?

Hmm...CCW's ain't cheap! Though I did buy mine used for a bargain. I was warned by fellow listers it would be a soft rim and they are right. I have bent them several times on the street. I chose to have a local shop true them each time. I could have repaired with new parts since they are three piece.

Factory wheels really are the best value.

Other popular wheels besides CCW: Fikse, BBS, Forgeline. A level below that would be O.Z., and other quality asian manufacturers. At the bottom of the barrel are the italian cast knock offs.

Unfortunately you get what you pay for in wheels. The best bang for your buck will be factory Porsche wheels.

agreed...while I love the tough look of the CCW's I've gotten where it is hard to relax driving my car because I'm always stressed over the next and last bump I hit!

racerxrick - I was looking at these rims. Are these the ones you indicated are soft?

Close...I actually have the Classic (race version) and not Classic 4:

They are light...calling them "soft" was not a dig on them

Mine are 18x10 and 18x9 w/ 285/30 and 245/35 rubber.

Factory wheels are a great value. But if you are looking for something with a different look, or wider or larger diameter, you have to look to the aftermarket.

Not all aftermarket wheels are the same.

If we can help out, let us know, we currently have rennlist specials on two of the brands listed below!

Best bang for buck is Team Dynamics. 18x8.5/10 I think it was $1250? They are the spec wheel for British Touring Car. Racers Edge can get them. Will try to get some pics of mine.

Factory wheels are the best value. Hollow spokes are light and cheap and easy to look after.

Me too! I've really been wanting to see some photos of these on 951's. I don't suppose anyone happens to know where a photo may be laying around?

I have the 17" CCW's race version and Rick's experiences have had me on edge driving mine on the crappy Ohio roads. I also have a set of MY02's but haven't ventured to install them yet since they might become my winter wheels.
