which brands makes wheels for autocross? i dont want to spend more than $450 for each wheel and they should be strong wheels cause its going to be a daily driver. so what brand do you recommand?

 

CCW makes good wheels. a few on this board have them i have seen.

do some searches for CCW wheels. not sure on the price of them but they are nice

do you think some 17s or 18s irocs will work for autocross?

 

might but aftermarket irocs arent really wide at all which kinda sucks for traction

 

which auto-cross class? the class you are in, may have a limitation to wheel size.

 

i dont know what class im in. im going to begin in a couple of weeks. right now i just want to get some wheels.

 

The thing is, certain classes have limitations on wheel size. If you are just starting out, I would take your car as is, figure out with the tech inspectors, what class your car is in, then check the rules to see what the wheel rule is. Besides, when you are just starting out, going in street trim, will help you learn much more, much faster. Racing tires can sometimes cover up mistakes that you would notice on street tires. I would suggest trying it out, and getting some seat time, before you start buying parts specificly for auto-x.

 

i agree with dewey, but to answer your question, 17x10.5 CCWs..... all 4 corners... with some super sticky rubber..

 

I believe 17x10.5s can fit but the backspace needs to be perfect. I'm running 17x9.5 with 5.5 backspace, it is a safe size and you can mount 275/40-17 tires.

 

I know that at least one member here has 18x11 CCW's on all 4 corners...

 

what kind of wheels do you have Axoid ? how wide are they?

These are what you want.

 

Since your new to autocrossing, Why don't you save some money by purchasing a set of 16x8 Firebird WS6 rims. they will be tons cheaper than CCW's . Then purchase some 255/50-16 Kumho 710's for them. Its a great combination to start with and will last along time and be very fast. The big CCW's are only needed when you are to the point "competitively" that you are ready to take on National events.

 

The ones in the SIG are CCW 17x9.5s. I agree the other guys, run at least a couple events on your street tires and then pick up a used set to 16x8s for comp tires. GTA wheels are the lightest stock 16x8. I did this are ran them for 2 year and when I went to larger wheels I sold the 16x8s for more than I paid.

Next year I moving up to Street Mod and once my new engine is done, I thinking of putting 18x10.5 - 18x11s on the front and 17x11s on the rear.
