Default Auto Cross Rims What are you using?

Looking for a good set of autocross rims in 18's. So what are you running? Tire size, rims and offsets and so forth.

Enkies or 5zigen's seem to be the way to go, light, durable and affordable....If you get the Fn01RC's in Matte black they can just be cleaned off with oven cleaner after using race pads as well and just touchup-sharpie them

Default sizes

Would also love to know some info on tire sizes (In 18' of course) used for autocross purposes.

Looking at going with the Enkie PF01's on Nitto NT01's

I can get the whole set with tires for about 2000.

Are there any vendors on here selling Enkie Rims?

I think the ones the white smasher had were the lighter of the Enkies. Either that or the RPF01's

RPF1 = 18.3lbs per

PF01 = 18lbs per

Both are about the same price but the PF01 has the cuts inside the rim.

speaking for the white smasher.. its up to clearance as well. with me running the same set up as you want enkeis on nt01s. But just an fyi nt01s have a softer sidewall and on our car you might want to get the Toyo R888 instead. the compound is the same but the side wall is ALOT stiffer. helps with roll and tire scrub and also matters what suspension set up you are on..

yikes... dymag.. i was going to get them.. to brittle for our cars. and major fitment issues with them.. if you are going that route go the NEW HRE that uses dymag parts that are stronger.. FYI.. look out for a 9k bill

Still looking for some wheel chocies. Not trying to spend a butt load of money, as this autocross racing is not a full time thing. I'm still looking toward the Enkei's. I found a nice set of RC-T4's, but I don't think they have sizing for the F
