      Do you stay with the stock width or change to something else?

      I ran 18×12.5 square on my Gen 2. 335’s all the way around. Most do 18×11 and 18×13 I believe

      If you can wait a week or two, I’ll have some better options available for you….in 18×11 and 18×13. At less than $1500/set 🙂

      The 6 spoke wheels are very light weight and make great track wheels. 18″ front, 19″ rears

      NineBall is offering a pretty good deal. Might be worth it to take it. I’ll admit I like the stock viper wheels on all gens and particularly like when you put newer ones on older vipers. But I think if you are serious about the track, 18s all around is the way to go.

      Yes. Same construction. Forgestar F14 wheels, I finally got them to build 18″ rears and wider 18×11 fronts.

      I am looking for a track only wheel. I am caught between the ozs and gen5 sidewinders brand new. The sidewinders are 18 19 set up by default. Is this better on the track? Or should I go with OZs and go back 18 front and 18 back? My tire of choice is the Proxys in any case.
