We have the new JCW on order, now I'm wondering what wheels to put the track tires on. I'd like to get something which is legal for autocross stock categories, so 17x7 and a min offset of 42mm.

Looking at TireRack, the lightest candidates are Enkei Racing RPF1 (14.6lbs) or Kosei K1 TS (15.0lbs). Are these any good? Anything else I should look at?

 

What about the slightly pricier 17x7 O.Z. Alleggerita HLT at 14.2lbs. And there is the 17x7 Enkei Racing PF01 at 15.6lbs., designed to fit big brakes.

 

Another vote for the Enkei PF01 wheel. Light, strong, and very accommodating to BBK's. I run my slicks on them at the track.

 

The Alleggerita looks good, but TireRack is only showing it with a 37mm offset, I was looking for 42mm or greater.

Any reason to go for the PF01 over the RPF1, the RPF1 is a pound lighter.

 

OZ's website also lists a 44mm offset version of the Alleggerita, TireRack don't seem to be offering that.

Cosmetics is a secondary consideration, but I was thinking of grey. I'm tempted by the Alleggerita in orange to match the new JCW, but then they'd clash horribly with Tristan. Tristan is probably going to be sharing the wheels.

 

We went with the RPF1 in stain black, they seem to be working fine.
