Road racing/HPDE--track wheels

For the road racer guys, what wheels would you recommend to drivers looking to buy an additional set of wheels dedicated for use with track tires?

TSW Interlagos or Forgestar CF10s or F14s.

I use TSW myself. Get metal centering rings.

Or if u have $$$ to spend on higher end forged stuff there is more options.

If your looking for best bang for the buck, TSW's all the way, They are a great brand we have sold them for many years now. If your looking for something forged HRE has a really nice semi budget friendly racing line up call their R40 series.

Get the strongest wheel you can afford or pay twice. I have Forgestar F14's and unfortunately 3 are now bent. They are light, affordable etc. but knowing what I do now, I'd be willing to pay double for a wheel the won't bend from hitting a pothole.

Any wheel will potentially bend. Better wheels might be less prone to bending but they will too.

My advice... go small (18") and go light.
