Hi everyone,
ok so been going through the numbers, it looks like i may not be able to get the wheels i wanted, so looking to get another set which are 15x6.5 and using a 205/50 tyre (incentive is that there is a weight saving bonus).
Has anyone used this arrangement for the track before? is it recommended to just get the 15x7?

Thanks
Quang

6ul wheels!! seriously, for the price you can't really do much better for the track.

how light are the 6UL wheels? buddyclubs an rays te37, i think they weighed in something like 4.5kg per rim, correct if im wrong at 15 by 6.5

6ul 15x8 are about 5kg....

6.5'- ill use 195 max. Esp on the track the tyre will fold over with 205's.

If you want to use 205's ill go 7' min. 8' for maximum performance.

Thanks everyone for your replies, fair enough, its a shame that so many wheels come out as 6.5's. Yes 6uls are the biz. The tyres i'm looking at are the 205/50 profile so 7" or 8" here we come.
Save save save :)
Cheers everyone!
