Here's my dilemma. I have a set of Evo IX MR BBS Wheels wrapped in Potenza RE-01r Tires (245/40/17). I have an opportunity to pick up some Volk TE37 16x8 wheels for an OK price. The car will be used for mainly road racing as it only racing duty. I will drag a little bit but that's not my overall plan.
What would be the better choice? The BBS wheels which are easier to find a 245 wide tire. They are also 18 or so lbs. Or the Volks which are about 13 lbs but 225 wide tires are readily available for the street/track.
Basically, I am asking this. Would you rather have a lighter wheel or more grip from a wider tire in road race?
Thanks for any input.
