WTB - track day wheels for E46 M3

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking of getting a spare set of wheels for track day use (to save on wearing out the road tyres in only 15 minutes). Probably pop a set of semi-slicks on them.

Options on TardMe:

19" OEM (probably use these as road wheels and use my current OEM 18"s for track) - http://www69.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-part...n-535025398.htm

Or another set of 18" OEM (same as I have) - http://www69.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-part...n-536268877.htm

Thoughts? Anyone have anything cheaper available? Not too worried about cosmetics, obviously.

IMO Go with 18 inch rims for the track. Better range of sticky tyre options in that size. The oem rim is nice and strong but manybe not the lightest. I'm noticing in the USA many have changed from a staggered setup to a square setup and use 4 rear OEM 18's instead which is sposedly helps reduce understeer. I have a spare set of rear 18's so will try this next tyre round.

Other thing to consider is just putting something like Re-11's or smilar on your current rims and use them for both road and track days ? I went up to 235 + 265s on the oem rim. They hang on well and don't spin up out of 2nd gear corners and hand on well.
