Diamond Racing Wheels?
Ive been thinking of different ways to stuff some big slicks on my car to keep traction under control down the road. Not sure if I want to go as far as cutting and riveting flares on (mainly depends on the rules for SM2). Anyway, was thinking some 15x10 if i go widebody, or 15x8 if i stick with the stockers.

true enough, my problemwith those is the offset though, but if i went for some flares, then i guess i could run the size tire I would ultimately like (thinking 245/15ish slick). The traction issue is not in the straights, and I would be willing to sacrifice a bit of braking and accelleration performance for ***** out cornering. When i fix my engine, ill probably be 200hp+ so thats enough to make up for a few pounds.

Ok i just looked again, and the Avenger series wheel is only 18lbs for a 15x10, then matched up with some Hoosier 245/50 R6 tires and flares, i bet that would be a pretty sweet combo ... 6ul wheels would be nice too.

i got a friend with diamond racing wheels, great wheel. i am about to order a set for myself. they seem alot stiffer than the normal steel wheel and alot lighter too. still a little heavy but light for a steel stamped wheel. i was looking into their 13 x 8's though and they are pretty light. of course these wheels wont be street driven but on the road i would get a 15 x 8 with some nice rubber and a wider stance for the street.
imo for the street i would be alot more concerned with weight, that being said its keeping me from steel wheels and looking to get some light 15 x 7's with a 30mm offset alloys. just get some good tires and a good alignment
