track wheels
I am looking for a set of track wheels for my 993 narrow body. I have a set of FM10 Fikse that I run Hoosiers 275's on but the offset is such that I cannot fit 285's. Questions are:
Light weight track wheels whats best for stick and handling?
availability seems to be a problem as I need them quickly (2 weeks)
Offsets so I can run Pirelli slicks 285/645 18"
Car has cup ride height and big reds.

Bill,
Most of these wheels are built to order so two weeks would be cutting close.
The BBS Magnesium wheels are the lightest, you can order them directly from BBS in Atlanta. Probably cost $1000/each, they also look very racy
Check with Fikse to see if they can rebuild those wheels to give you the right offset.
Another company to check with, <a href="http://www.forgeline.com" target="_blank">www.forgeline.com</a> also they make a good wheel that is fairly light (within a pound of Kinsesi, Fikse, etc)

Bill,
Good deal. What class are you running in at Lime Rock? Have fun and don't try to be a hero, in four or five races you will imporve more as a driver than you did in two years of DE.
