Hi Keith (and all),
I've just posted a new message about cheap 18" track rims... and it seems that you have got the solution actually !
Would you have pics with a black M2 ?
Can you ship to Belgium with customs settled ?
What price with/without semi-slick tyres ?
(Incl cap and pressure valve)
Thx :-)

Oliver,

I believe there are some photos available if you look through the earlier pages of this thread.

When you are ready, please email me directly at keith@tirerack.com to discuss your options and the costs.

Both are very strong wheels specifically designed for track use.
265/35/18 would be the best tire size for a square track package.

OZ Challenge
18x9.5
ET33
24lbs
1 piece low-pressure cast
$449 each

Click this link to view the wheel:
Silver - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...b=wheels&a=BS4

TRMotorsport C4
18x9.5
ET33
Will confirm weight once the first shipment comes in.
1 Piece low-pressure cast
$165 each

Will be available in black or light grey.
Click this link to view the wheel:
Black - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...b=wheels&a=BS4
Light Grey - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...b=wheels&a=BS4

This is a wheel Tirerack is having specifically built for M2 track packages, which is why we are able to keep the price so low.

Neither of these wheels are currently listed for the M2 on www.tirerack.com. These would have to be ordered with me directly.

Feel free to email me directly at Keith@tirerack.com if you have any questions or would like to place an order.
Can I mount RS4's in 245/40-18 and 265/40-18 on these wheels 9.5" wheels or would it be better to go to a 9 inch front and 10 inch rear wheel?

245/40/18 - rim width range of 8.0-9.5"
265/40/18 - rim width range of 9.0-10.5"

So, yes you can put both of those sizes on 9.5 width wheels.
Those sizes would probably look better on a 9" and 10" wheel, but if you wanted to run them on a 9.5", there is no problem doing so.

Keith,
I'm running your square set up (TR rims) with 265 star specs. The car has pulled HARD to the right since day one. Even on a flat even surface with no road crowning. With the stock wheels on it pulls ever so slightly. I had my alignment checked twice by a race shop and they said it was spot on. Is it possible that the rim/s could be out of balance from the manufacturing process? Maybe a bad tire? Rotating the tire front to back doesn't seem to make a difference.
The shop said they swapped the front wheel/tire left to right then it pulled to the left. So in there opinion it's a rim/tire problem.
I'm taking my car to the dealership next week to have the alignment checked for a third time. Do you have any ideas?
Thanks,
Martin

Same issue with my car, but tires really worn at the outside side of front right tire. A geometry could not fix it. Consequence of track days ;-)

We typically would have noticed if there was a problem with the product when we balanced the package before shipping to you. Although, it is possible we missed something. Please contact customer service ASAP. 800-428-8355 ext 4360. They will be able to work with you to find a solution.

Thanks!

I just did a test fit of the Turner 7.5 spacer....amazing quality. I am running on MP coilovers with -3.2 camber, TR 18 wheels and 275/35/18 Hoosier R7s... a smaller spacer would rub on the adjustment collar :

Are the stock center caps supposed to fit? Mine don't seem like they're even close, and the wheels didn't ship with any and the paperwork doesn't say anything

Edit: the page for those wheels on your website shows center caps included at no cost. God damn it -.-

I tried emailing you guys for a black set. It appears Keith is no longer with Tirerack as I got a automated reply redirecting me to sales. Is there a new contact we can place our order?

Thanks

Just wanted to chime in that I had a set of these and had to trash them after 10 track days. It seems the heat, curbs, and the M2s weight warped them out of true.

My Apex’s are holding up much better.

Thanks for the feedback! Reading this and seeing no follow up from them might be a signal.

I know Keith is no longer around since I got the automated reply but that's why this new account had been posting on this thread.
