    16x8 autocross wheels

    Can someone suggest some 16x8 or 8.5 wheels that would be good for autocross, meaning not boat anchors.
    I am planning on running a 245/45/16 tire on them.

    But looks like I cant find anything except the cheapo xxr wheels which have either a funky offset or are really heavy.

    I was looking at this wheels

    16x9 with +15 offset seems like it would fit with a 10 mm spacer or so but 18 lbs is still kind of heavy and not sure of quality.

        16x9 et5 with 245/45s? are you running fender flares?

        if you want to run wider than 225s, go to 17x8 or 17x8.5 wheels around et25-30

        your best bet would probably to do the 15x8 wheel with the stickiest 225/50 or 225/45 tire you can find.

Although, good luck getting them in a color you want. 16x8 et20 rota's have been on backorder for almost a year since they haven't gotten an order large enough to fill a container. Shipping is expensive as fuck over there right now. The last time I checked back in Feb, there were only 6 for sale brand new from all nationwide distributors and none of them
            compiled a color-matched set.
