I got bit by the autocross bug today and looking for the best option for an 18x11 without getting dinged for the big price to widen the hoop. CCW has some that would work...any other options?Would even consider a 17x11 rear and 18x10 or 9.5 front.

You should have bought Rupp's set!!
I'm a fan of CCW's!!

I think Vintage Wheel Works has some 18s coming out, they can do up to 11 inch wide. Something to consider.

And dang I thought I had problems getting wheels to clear my 13 front rotors, 14s must be a nightmare.
Now I know why like those 20" wheels ;)

Congrats Todd!!
I'm pretty damn sure Steve is using 14" rotors...it was a big deal that he got the 17's to clear....

A simple rule I was taught it that you measure the distance from the center of your hub to the outside of you rotor. Your wheel needs to be 2 inches larger on average. Mine are 15.5 up front and that means an 18 is needed.

What style and finish did you get? Tires?

Thanks man...I haven't decided yet. More than likely the race line since they are the lightest with titanium hardware. Considering having Ben Hermance re render a few options.

Your present rims look on your car now. I would problably stay with the brushed centers and polished or chrome lip.
I really like the Forgelines on the project "re-peeled" I know they are a different style...but a red stripe around the rim for your car should would be cool.
Can't wait to see what you come up with

I'm thinking two different personalities right now. The red penstripe is an interesting idea. Forgeline has so many options it's going to be tough. I'll check out the wheels your talking about.

i just looked through thier competition line and honestly dont see any of those wheels looking good on your car...
I personally LOVE multi spokes and mesh wheels but for some reason i just cant see them on payback.
i i think you should go with a split -5 spoke so it wont be so identical to you wheels now but still have a 5spoke look.
and IMO this color way would look SICK on your car! and easy to clean!

I do like the SP3P but I keep trying to tell myself this is for racing. These won't be my street wheels. (Atleast not at this point)It's a tough decision.

yeah for "track" wheels
i wouldnt do brushed or polished and i would do step lip for sure! and im really likeing how the hidden hardware looks on all the forgelines! plus that even better for cleaning purposes since there gonna constanty be covered in brake dust.

If you act like your going to buy them, you can look at all the options for each wheel. I really don't want many add ons so I'll probably stick with one of the free powder coated center colors and possibly powder coat the lips. The brushed is clear coated so it would be ok. It's not that much work to wipe down a clear coated wheel. I'm not building them to compete with my boosts so it definitely will be step lip. The competition wheels don't have center caps but you can add them for $85 a piece! lol

Like a kid in a candy store man. Definitely know which wheel, just haven't decided on finishes. I have Scott at Forgeline sending out some samples next week. What I'm considering has never been done by Forgeline. :D As soon as I have them mounted on the car, I'll snap some photos. :P
