Are the Rota sub zeros a good price, and would they be good for autocross? They're a bit tall..

P.S. someone local please buy the slicks, and let me borrow them :wink: Or we could go in on them, and share :D

I know :shrug: about rims, and am very poor right now, so if any of the trades look good I'd prefer that. I want some 16" or 17" for looks, but want good auto-x wheels.
Thanks for help, guys.

Out of the bunch the red gt3s are the lightest.. but they wont look good on a mx3. I like those enkeis.. what you are looking for is a 15 or 16" rim that is light, that is good for auto-x.. 17 is to big IMO. Those grids are kinda beasty, but proly good for handling.. pending the tires..

Why not autox with your stock 15's? and get some good falken azenis tires?

EDIT: I wrote this as you were writing that last one :wink:
Thanks, Solo. Would they be heavy, relative to my OEMs?

Search wheels by Alpha and look em up..

Stock mx3 rims are about 15-16lbs IIRC

Grids are: 13 lbs..

I like Enkei RPF1, I think that is a great autox rim. You have to look at width too
