Default TireRack and OZ Racing introduce the Challenge Race Wheel.

OZ Racing and TireRack are proud to Introduce the Challenge race wheel. At the request of several of our race customers, we asked OZ to design this wheel to be the difinitive cast product truly designed for track abuse. Designed in a 9 spoke design they are stiff enough to withstand the rigors thrown at them by 911 GT3-RS (non ceramic brake) , M1 and M3, GTR, and Viper owners on the track. Weight is in the 22.5-24 lb. range and they available in the below sizes. Carbon fiber center cap in 5 bolt configuration is included.

18X9 5-114 ET20 Black
18X10 5-120 ET25 Black
18X10 5-114 ET25 Black

18X11 6-114 ET50 Black
18X11 6-114 ET50 Bright Silver
18X13 6-114 ET65 Black
18X13 6-114 ET65 Bright Silver

18X8.5 CL ET50 Black - $489
18X9 CL ET47 Black - $499
18X11 CL ET45 Black - $529
18X12 CL ET48 Black - $569

Priced in the $420-580 price point, I have inventory in stock presently, and more on the way. As some fitments are not available on our website, please contact me direct to order!

You can use these for a narrow body (remove the rear spacer - it will be aggressive but 'should' work)

Front
18X8.5 CL ET50 Black (non rotated 235/245)
18X9 CL ET47 Black (rotated struts can run a 265)

Rear
18X11 CL ET45 Black
- if I have done my math correctly, a 45ET 11" should be similar to a 55.5ET 12" where the outer lip sits
- the stock rim is a 68ET with a 5mm spacer = 63ET
- so this rim would sit 7.5mm outward of the stick rim without the spacer
- it would be very tight but since it is an 18", if you run very slightly shorter tires it should work

If they come with track abuse warranty I have 2 sets of BBS for sale...

I hope Grady is reading this! He needs 2 sets of 18" with RA1's too!

If its the same build quality as the allegerita, then buy it. I ran those on my last car. Very very sturdy wheel. Had they had proper front fitment I would have bought them instead of the CCW's.

Yeah you had more spins, hit curbs harder at Sebring then anyone else.. OZ should use you as a test bed ;-)

Agreed. Picked up a screw and had a blow out in 5. Hit the curb so hard it ripped the tire off the rim. Light scratches. Not even so much as a dent, let alone a bend. Two thumbs up. OZ HLT is a fantastic product and you can't beat the price.

Hey guys, why would these be non pccb? With the 997.2 cars both run 380mm 6 pot setups... Apart from fancy paint, whats larger or different with pccb to affect clearance?

I have these same wheels in the 19" version.....zero issues great wheels!!!!! I want to go back to 18" for the track and these are my answer!

Yeah I'd love to have some über baller forged wheels but this cost $3,000 more and I just can't see why.
