Default Which track wheels?

What do people think, I have a RNBP S2000

They're all 45/48 offset.

Black Slipstreams


Polished Slipstreams (a bit too bling)


Boost


Torque

Black for you.

Then you won't have to clean them or worry about the lacquer.

I thought the Slipstreams were the only ones with the stagger?

Otherwise I'd say Boost look the best. But then the point of trackday wheels is to make them look as bad as possible in a "I don't care about looks, just performance" way. I say paint them light green; that'll go really nicely with pensioner blue.

I might go for the boost purely on the fact they're 300g lighter than the slipstreams. But I'm still waiting on confirmation.

I don't think the 'Boost' are the correct fitment.

I've got slippies - gunmetal with polished lip - love em.

I can't remember who it was who put some slipstreams on a RNBP earlier this year If I remember correctly they put the wrong tyres on which showed too much wheel arch !!

Cheap as chips too

Looks like the Boost do come in 17x7.5 and 17x8, which probably isn't too bad. IIRC, the standard wheels are 17x7 and 17x8?

Tempting.

The guys at rarerims said that the Boost and Torque are now in teh right fitment. But I'll get em to double check.

The OEM rears are 8.5" wide.

You can still fit 245/40's on the 8" rears though.
