Down to the wheels...

[chuci]

Ok... it's down to these 3 choices.

1.* TSW Trackstar 18x8 = 20.4lbs each

2.* Tenzo DC-5 18x8 = 21+lbs each

3.* Tenzo DC-6 18x8 = Don't want them...

Tire choice is the Goodyear Eagle GT in 225/45 to keep the revs down on the hwy, shouldn't have any clearance issues and should only need to roll the fenders if I do.* Thoughts?
Now thinking about the 235/40/18 with the 8"... hmmmm

 

[MikeHTally]

I vote for the DC-6.

 

[FrequentFlyer]

I like the DC-5's.

 

[InFlames]

you plan on drifting your MS3?

 

[haberdashery]

dc-5!!

 

[IDRVSLO]

Trackstar. I have seen them in person and they are beautiful. Better offset at 50mm then the Tenzos at 45mm.

 

[bykeryder4life]

trackstar, then dc-5 if it came down to it

track


star

Whichever wheel is lightest.

Nope... not going to drift it, although the MS3 has the most predictable and smoothes slide of similar cars. Main thing is looks, they all are similar in weight and at/below stock weight.
I'm partial to the Trackstars too, just not 1000% sure. Just wish they had 'view on vehicle' links.(nervous)

With the 50mm, are they good to run 235/40's?

 

[IDRVSLO]

Yep....people running Wedsports have had no issues

 

[jam_asian85]

Tsw !

Coolio, except the GT's only come in 225/40or45/18's - any high-milage recommendations for a 235? Looking for a minimum 30k rated tire due to work driving.

 

[wisniaPl]

you dont need to roll fenders, go with tsw....

 

[Frisco speed3]

dc-6

 

[stars.eg6]

dc6 but im bias

 

[chief_wiggum]

TSW first,

DC5 second --

either would look great...

 

[ericrapp]

Ilike my dc-5s. alot. heavy though.

me too Trackstar... and when you get them can you snap some photos for me because I've wanted to see them on a red MS3?

 

[bacarl]

I like the Trackstar too. Either the TS or DC5 is my preference, and the TS has larger/smoother radii so I think will look best on the car. Definitely a good idea to keep close to stock offset, too.

There's almost no way a 225 will rub, you will be fine.
