TSW Interlagos wheels
I spent a ton of time researching wheels as there are not lots of options for the G37S sedan for what I need. I track my car so I did not want to run spacers. I also needed a strong, light wheel that would be wide enough for 245/275 tires, clear the brakes, and not stick way out of the fenders. Being inexpensive, forged, and good looking were just bonuses.
This was the best wheel for what I needed and no complaints. I did 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. You will need hub centric rings for these wheels and they only offer plastic. I thought this would be an issue with the heat from the brakes deforming them on the track, but surprisingly, they held up just fine. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...21ebd6871e.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...4d4fa2ff09.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...63e69c0e84.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.myg...516459135a.jpg |
Those are a nice looking setup, glad to hear they did well on your track day. You can get the aluminum hub rings on ebay for about $15 FWIW. And those TSWs are rotary forged which isn't a true forged wheel but a newer manufacturing process and a definite upgrade over regular cell castings. The wheels will be lighter & stronger vs. regular cell cast but still heavier and weaker than a true forged wheel.

I also thought aluminum hub centric rings would be easy to find for these wheels, but I could not find anyone who made them in the right size.

I might do that. They held up well all year though. I was surprised. Almost as surprised as when the guy at Discount Tire tried to convince me that plastic rings were better than metal. When I told him the last set of plastic hub centric rings I used at a track day melted, his story changed rather quickly.:icon17:

What offsets are you running? And did you have any issues with the BBK without spacers?
|
Plenty of clearance for the Akebonos- significantly more than stock. I run 19x9 up front with a 32 offset and 19x9.5 in back with a 41 offset.

Two years later and these wheels are still great! No complaints and no issues. Lots of caliper clearance- even on the big Akebonos.
