I've found plenty of wider rims, just no light ones. Some a few pounds lighter than stock, but not the sub-17 pounders that everyone else gets (FN01CR's, Trak-Lite's, TE37's, SSR anythings, Kosei K1's, etc, etc, etc). I would kill for a set of 17x8" 15 lb Trak Lites like we have on the MX-6, or 17x7 if I stay in DS (not likley though).
To do with discussion in the other thread - temp readings on a drivers-side abusive course were 128 inside, 130 middle, 133 outside on the drivers side front. And that's with -2.7 degrees on that wheel and 44-45 psi running pressure - and still coming dangerously close to rolling it too much. My grease pencil marks were inderterminate; they wore off further down than they should but only on runs where I botched a corner and pushed too much - and every time I marked the tires (3 runs out of 6) I ended up doing that, LMAO. The temp readings were consistant though, 5 to 8 degree spread from inside to outside on that wheel. Passenger side was unreliable data; the finish left me with the passenger wheel inside and spinning wildly, so the inside edge was consistantly reading 8 or 10 degrees over the middle and outside 'cuz it got heated up right at the finish. Grr. Anyway - I still say these cars need -3* in the front with DOT slicks. Everything says so, pyrometer, wear, everything. I can't believe it's worth giving up that grip to have a little less wheelspin under exit IMHO. :shrugs: We'll see, when I go to get the alignment fixed I'm gonna go for -3 even on each side.
