Picking up track wheels and tires for my new to me GT3.

Anyone run the OZ Alleggerita HLT wheel for the track? Any issues with bending/cracking?

Other sub $2k options for wheels that are better?

Thanks

montoya

Are you referring to the OZ HLT Challenge wheels in 18" size? I have plenty of experience with them, they are strong and relatively light. Never a crack or other issue. Great deal, mine are all pending sale unfortunately for you. I know of no other wheel that is better or available for less that I would trust at the track for less at least for CL hubs.

The numbers in bold, is what i would search to get. What i did last time i purchased through tire rack i got boxer's rear tires to use for front and gt2 for rear or something like that. Get a more aggressive offset, so no need for spacers. HLT great wheel. I used them.

No issues with those wheels on my Cayman.

yes go as wide as u can, I would not run 8.5 front.
bunch pansies think RS rear won't fit, f1kid got a great deal from my rs wheels. now THATS a well filled wheel well.

u can not have too wide a front tire in 911's

I did the math, i was confident it would work. Perfect flush. Even with the whole weight of the car on that one side, still no rubbing. Offset of 53 ? Or something crazy like that. Soooooo nice. I drool just looking.

As long as you have steel brakes, not PCCB, the OZ's Allegeritas are perfectly fine. Just add some 5mm spacers up front, if you want a little wider track.

For the price, you can't beat them.

F1CrazyDriver

Agree. Are you still using your pccb ?

Wait I can put RS wheels on a 997.1 non-rs?

F1CrazyDriver

Correct.
