Suggestion

When I finally decide what I'll doe for my next P-car (it'll be a 911...but which one??), I'll be using the lightest wheels I can for track, which will probably mean Fikse, Kinesis or HRE.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

21 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

these are a set of champion rg5 18's. i think the kinda look dull in the stock silver finish so i've p-shopped a few different finishes. i know they are my track set but hey why can't they look good too stock silver anthracite grey black gloss polished -or- white

POST 2Original post

It looks more like a track car with the black but the silver polish is the best looking, IMO. If you are going to use it strictly for track then I think black would fit the bill.

POST 3Original post

this is an easy one: forgo the 'bling' and spend the money (and effort) on more track time.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

haha, thx. i already have sportec 19's as my bling set. just thinking paint is cheap. i can paint the champions at work.

POST 7Original post

It's not a joke, it's physics. If they are your racing wheels, go for black

POST 8Original post

Come to think of it most of your heat emissions will be infrared, so it doesn't matter. Any color paint will have a higher emissivity than aluminum.

POST 9Original post

F1 wheels aren't black. Who cares? Go with Fikse wheels.

POST 11Original post

The measuring stick I tend to use for selecting a track wheel is the weight. For the M3, I'm running BBS RK's as they're about 18 lbs. (if memory serves) per corner, much lighter than the stock forged wheels that came on the car. When I finally decide what I'll doe for my next P-car (it'll be a 911...but which one??), I'll be using the lightest wheels I can for track, which will probably mean Fikse, Kinesis or HRE. Wish there were more cost effective alternatives for the same weight and strength characteristics, since they'll be used on the track only so the aesthetics are less of a concern, but I've yet to find them.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

sorry, i thought you we're kidding. i thought black absorbs and retains heat much better than say white... like wearing a black t-shirt and a white t-shirt in the under the sun.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i already have lightweight champions don't need the fikses

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

the champion rg5s are lightweight ~18lbs.

POST 15Original post

I was half kidding...no offense taken. The overall effect is negligible. Fun to rationalize yet another mod tho.

POST 16 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hehe, i already have the wheels. just trying to justify painting them or to just leave them alone

POST 17Original post

If you were buying track wheels I would go with the real deal from either BBS or my favorite, Jongbloed. There is a lot more to good track wheels that light weight and looks. As for painting, they look great in black. As much as track wheels get abused I would wonder how long they will look good though. Jim
