I'm on a budget, so I'm wanting to find out what kind of rims I can run on my car. I am an armature at this, so I am not going to be running hot around the cones. Based on my current experience and talent with AC, my friend told me to go with stock steelies. Open to any advice. Thanks Mike Kelly

Your goal is to drive a slow car fast. If you can accomplish that, you’ll do what I do. I regularly come in 2nd or 3rd fastest time of the day. I get beaten by race tires and dedicated cars. More important is who is slower. The twin turbos, the GT3’s, the Boxsters and the Cayman. Autocross isn’t totally about the car. The car has to be well maintained but it’s up to you to make it go fast. You have a lot of tuning to do on the ‘nut behind the wheel’ before you worry about tires, wheels, sway bars, intakes, or any of those things. Just learning the line is everything... |
