Wheels forsale after season

[BioBanker]

Im thinking about selling my wheels. I love them, but there is just not a big selection of track tires in reasonable front sizing. Actually, there are NONE available! So if you're looking for a set of wheels for the track, these are probably not them; the only R compound tire that I can use reasonably on the front is a 205/40/17 Toyo RA1, and its not enough tire for the track IMO. There will be plenty of 225/40's and 215/40's available in street tires. I dont want those.

If you're thinking of wheels in the coming months, and you like a classic motorsport design, PM me. These are gorgeous wheels IMO.

Theyre Work Termist TM1. Silver.
f 17x7.5 +40

Just to add that I've seen these wheels several times in person and they look awesome.


What size are you going to go with now? wider 17s?

The NSX front tire size is tricky beast... I haven’t been on the track but I’ve done a lot of research on tire sizes and our front tire size is a difficult one to match esp. if you want wider fronts.

I’ve got 17 x 8 and a set of 225 35 17 that match the OEM 15/16 spec perfectly but there are few to none of these sizes available, so they are either very expensive / mediocre performance, or just not available.

215 40 17 don’t seem to be available in R compounds. 225 40 17 are a good fit but again can’t seem to find any sizes. 235 40 17 are available in Toyo RA-1 and other R compound offerings but you’ll need at least an 8” rim and ideally a 8.5” rim and suddenly rubbing comes into play… but that is the widest you can go without going too far out of OEM diameter spec.

Your only real option is to break out of the OEM spec and go 45 17 where there are a plethora of sizes available to you.

Thanks Garrick - Im thinking 17x8 up front so that I can run a 225/40, maybe a 225/45 or even a 235/40.

Id keep the rear exactly the same size. If these dont move, maybe I just replace the fronts and have some spares. Wives love excess car parts just lying around!

You silly fk!

Why don't you not sell them but trade them temporarily with me for my wheels? This way you can run R-Compounds for track and my good tires for street use.

Whenever you want to trade back they're yours!

This way you can get some use out of your impact gun! (You could also paint mine white, yellow or black if you like - I don't care!)

^^Thanks Stu - but Im big on not swapping wheels around at all. Id just get a set of track wheels and keep these for street if I felt like going back and forth. Too much of a PITA! Run whatcha brung!
