I was looking in the St forums for the right wheel for the new focus rs.
St owners seem to go for the gram light 57dr wheel in 5x108 with 38offset 18x8.5.
Or oz ultralegerra 18x8 with 38 offset.
Just curious if anyone else is thinking of making their wheel size 1 inch smaller? There doesn't seem to be a lot of 5x108 light weight wheel options in 18 inch.
I prefer the thick 5 spoke or 6 spoke look but the new 19 inch wheels they showed at Geneva looks awesome.
I plan on sticking with 18's.
Won't be in serious need of going for lighter weight, but will be looking for a combination of a good stance that doesn't sacrifice performance
Shipping costs will suck, but it'll be worth it if they are wheels you really want.
Never had wheels shipped to me before, have you looked into how much it'll cost to get them?
If it was up to me, one of my motivations for getting the wheel shipped is if someone else has one of the alternatives already on their RS. I always hated looking like someone else.
Braid is readily available in the USA.
I found a website that I can get Speedline wheels shipped to USA
I don't know much about EvoCorse Wheels.
Compomotive wheels I have inquired the company about.
From you guys' experience, which is the wheel to go for? Is Aluminum an ideal material for sturdiness and rallycross? I do plan on doing a bit of off roading, and that's why I'm looking at wheels that can be used for Track, Tarmac Rally, RallyCross.
Just researched the speed lines in 18x8 and people say they weigh 10.2kg. It's also very difficult to track down the type 2120 wheel rather than the aftermarket speed line Turini wheel.
Right now my focus is on evo corse and braids. The evo corse wheel already has an application for focus st's 5x108....,only thing is they don't list the price.
I am highly leaning towards the braid full race rallycross spec right now because of braid's reputation.....and confidence in that I can run on unpaved roads without worry. 20-21lb wheel that has a reputation to be bullet proof and at $340 per wheel is a really good choice.
