Hi Everyone,

I was considering getting a set of wheels for autocross and maybe a few track days a year. I have seen a bit of a mix between 15x7 / 16x8 and 16x7 and 17x8 wheels used here on the forums. Typically I would want the smallest wheels that can clear my brakes due to weight, in that case I would lead towards the 15’’ 16’’ setup. I see a lot of companies offering more 16/17 setups as opposed to 15/16, are they more concerned about sidewall flex rather than weight, or is it more based off of aesthetics?

I was planning on putting on a set of Regamasters, as I already have a full set of 15x7 wheels. Ideally I can just order a two 16s and be ready to roll, as opposed to buying a full set for the 16/17 setup and selling my current set.

I have also seen some people using a 15/17 setup, but that seems to be mostly for tire sizing?

I've always loved the Regamasters. In terms of weight, I'd imagine they weight quite a bit more than the LSS wheels?

if you get real Regamasters they are fully forged and are actually a bit lighter than the LSS wheels. if you get knock offs like the rota slips you are going to be taking a weight penalty.

Values for the weights were taken from IBC motorsport which should be accurate
