Need racing wheels for track duty
I have a FBO 2013 335is I have been tracking. It has the stock 19" 313s on it now, but for track duty I was thinking about 18s so I could get a bigger sidewall on some Super Sports. The banking at Auto Club Speedway chewed the F out of the tires and were squealing loud enough on corners I could hear it over all the Lambos and ZR-1s that were flying by. Any insight or opinions would be appreciated.
And if your wondering how it did on the track, people were very surprised it had the power it made and could hold its own with M2s, E46 M3s and some of the Mustangs out there. I really wanted to go after the e90 M3 but he was in another group. With better tires and the brake upgrade I just did I am sure I could get the lap times way down. Still didnt get much respect out there tho, which is expected on a course with Lambos, Porsches, GT-Rs and McClarens. Link below are my last laps. Listen to the Lambo at the :25 second mark... N54 Pride

Arc-8, Kosei K1, SM10, etc. Any 18" wheel under 20lbs will be a nice upgrade. Go ahead and get some RE71R or even R888s while you're at it too. Immensely better than PSS/PS4S for track duty.

Thanks for the info. On stock suspension what size tires for the 18s would you suggest? Those Toyos look great and not that expensive.

Found some wheels I like, simple basic racing wheels but the come in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5...which would be better for track duty. ET+35
