Track wheels

[millhouse]

I am going to be doing Bedford autodrome at the end of the year, it will be my first track day and as such I will be doing a good going over the car changing fluids, making sure all is good with the car, however I have been looking into potential upgrades to make after presuming I will be doing more, I have. Even wondering about track wheels and I have seen most people are swapping to 15 inch wheels I am wondering what width wheels am I after for the 195/50R15 tyres? Also I was thinking is it possible to get any steel wheels that would fit? Like the base model fords etc that have spokes to imitate alloys when the wheel trims are fitted

Something like this

6.5/7 ref width

Why do you want those type of wheels?. Try and get a second hand set for 300/350 depending on tyres.

Ok cheers, I was thinking something like this for 1; cheap and 2; most likely lighter than any cheap 15’s

Also plenty of cooling over the brakes

Get brake ducts

Get brake ducts

Why are those brake ducts and scoops so darned expensive

Bits of moulded plastic basically

If you just want cheap wheels for the track, the 15” alloys from the non sport Clios are fine and cost peanuts
