Track wheels
Is there a low cost option to the Monoblocks for track wheels?
Appearance doesn't matter, I'd just prefer not to dump $1,000 into wheels that will only be used at the track.
It needs to fit an '01 E55.
Thanks for any help.

Are the standard AMG wheels suitable? I've cracked alloys before and didn't want to do it again.

depends on the weather
steel wheels are not as strong as alloys ..... and over time metal does fatigue and any wheel can fail that's why proffessional race teams use so many wheels
