500E lightweight track rims

Luke

Looking for a set of light track rims for 500E, either 17 or 18 inch size. What are the weights? Looking for something to fit a 245 tire. OZ superlegera? BBS? Also must be good at cooling. Oh yeah and cheap! (some bloody chance)

Hi Dave:

I think Luke has the right answer for light weight,

BUT... I thought you might like to know that OZ Wheels is clearing out of their Futura 3-piece forged modular rims in 17x8.5 ET 20 in 5x112 bolt pattern for Mercedes at an incredible $280 each

You can call them at 305-471-0042 or e-mail
Alexandra

Good luck

BBS CH Motorsport rims are used by the cars in the Ferrari Challenge...I picked up a trashed one from the garbage during an event and was amazed at how lite it was and I think they have an 18" fit for the 500E.

Has anyone considered Panasport's racing wheels? They have good following on the track for strength, durability, weight, and price.

Check them out at:
