I have a 1974 2.0 with hub-centric (front) OEM steel wheels and want to swap to Fuch style alloy wheels to use for track days and autocross.
The more I look at aftermarket wheels the more confusing it gets, so I am looking for real-world suggestions. I am sure this subject has been beaten to death on this forum, but using the search feature has gotten me nowhere. What are you using? |

For street and AX I run Bridgestone RE71 RS tires. Best AX tire currently out there that you can drive on the street. They are summer tires and carry the same temperature restrictions.
Another good choice is the Yokohama AO 52. Takes a bit more time to warm up but close to the RE71’s in grip and feedback. 205x50x15 is perfect on 6X15 rims. If Fuch rims are too expensive, take a look at the Maxilite brand. Faithful reproduction of the Fuch but less expensive. Tony |
