Need wheel suggestions!
1996 Track car. Currently running some 17x11 zr1 a-mold replicas which are heavy (~30lbs) Would like to keep it a 17" due to cost of tires (RT660's) but will consider 18's. Anyone have a lead on some light wheels w/ correct bolt pattern/offsets? Wouldn't be opposed on 10" wide. Looking for good value. IE forgelines are nice but spendy. Need multiple sets so used is probably out too.

17s make this a little tough: seems like most popular flow-formed wheels (the budget/quality sweet spot for your needs) are made only in 18" and up. I'd call Forgestar and see if they can make some F14s in 17x11 et50 for a reasonable price (~$400ea). Also try Enkei: their site doesn't seem to let me search just by size and offset, so you would need to call and ask what they have. Ditto for Tire Rack: call them and especially ask about their Flow One wheels.

Put together a set of four 2001 z06 fronts in 17x9.5. They're cheap & strong (real forged) and a touch over 20lbs per wheel. Best wheel bargain out there, imo, at $6-800 for a set of nice ones.

What Kind of spacing/spacers do you need to run these on an 85 to 87 Vette? Thanks. I assume 88 and newer are not that difficult to match up. Thank you...
