I have a track car, which for various reasons, like small wings and the lack of availability of decent track tyres in 15x6 sizes, needs a 16X6, PCD130, ET50-55 wheel of around 5Kg/11 Lb. Can someone recommend something for track (and driving to & from)?

I have been looking for Dymags etc. OZ Ultralaggeras are nice and light, but not sure if they'd hold up to track.

Any thoughts?

design 90's or fuchs spring to mind.

aim especially for the forged design 90's as fitted to 944 turbo se's from memory.

Thanks to you both:

The Image wheels site looks like a good starting point.

Wildoliver: D90's is what I've got on at the moment. These are actually surprisingly heavy, comparatively speaking:
Fuchs 16x6 + 205/55 tyre 15Kg
D90 16x6 + 205/55 tyre 17.5Kg

I can't use the Fuchs on the front, as they didn't manufacture them in a high-enough offset. The D90 Magnesiums were AFAIK only made for the 964RS, and in larger sizes than 6".

Never did a D90 mag, well that isn't true they did it for a very rare c4 based rs intended for rallying.

The d90 forged was fitted to some 944 turbo's I promise you and is easily identifiable by the slight engraving on the face around the spokes.

D90 are a very good wheel, and pretty light for what they are, and very strong, cheap and resistant to damage, so ideal as a track wheel.
