Lightweight rotary forged wheels are so expensive but so worth it! Now spend another $1400 and get some R comp tires!! If only I had a money tree

Mid-O is a bit of a drive for you too I'm sure, but It's a world class track. I'm going June 6th and I'm very excited excited! And yeah, you're right. A Track weekend can easily run $1k all in all.

Are you talking about Forgestars? For my budget they are fairly expensive, but not so bad at about $350/each . . . . pretty sure they are under 20 pounds for an 18x10 . . . or something even lighter?

The Enkei RPF1 is also a good track wheel, and size for size is usually a couple pounds lighter than the F14s too!

I looked at those but they ran 18x10.5, I was hesitant because I wasn't sure if it needed additional mods to fit up front
