Who Wants Some PROPER AFFORDABLE Track Wheels?
Hey guys so I started talking with the marketing director at Konig wheels about producing something WIDE that fits evos well. Ideally I'm thinking an 18x11 +35. As it stands no one really offers a higher offset 11" wheel so this would be great for us.
Konig already sells an 18x11 +15 that retails at $246 and weighs 20.69lbs so these would be at a similar price and a hair lighter.
So who's interested? I'd love to be able to give Konig something of a rough head count. They seem like they're very interested in helping the racing community which is awesome so I'd love to have this work out.

I think an 18x10.5 +35 or +38 would be more palatable for most.

The reason I'm pitching 11" here is because they already have a mold for 11" wheel, the only change required is for the hub mounting area to be thinned up which would be considerably less work than making a new mold from the ground up.
There are a fair amount of guys running 315s on 10.5" wheels and it works but they're happier on 11". Even wider would probably be better but again, trying to make this a cost effective solution for us. I think $1k for a full set of flow formed fairly light wheels is a damn good deal.

11" would be a step in the right direction so put me down. Weight and price seem to be solid too so thats nice. Although, as mentioned 11.5 or 12" would be even better but I get where youre coming from. I think youre right on the money with the offsets too btw, Its probably easier to cut outside metal vs inside so wider we go the lower the offset we need.

11" wheel in the 20lb range and Im on board. The Forgestars are great for fitting odd setups but theyre 5lbs/wheel heavier in my 18x12. I plan on running a set of Street tire 315s for track day stuff and would swap out my 18x10.5 PF01 for these since its very slightly lighter but that extra 1/2" will absolutely make a difference.
On the hoosiers the difference of 1/2" going from the 10 to the 10.5" was a big jump in feel to me. The 10" they always felt a bit mushy even running high pressures to the point I actually preferred the slower Kumho because it had much better feel. 315s in a hoosier definitely need 12" wheel but for street tires an 11" should be perfect.
