Epsilon Wheels for racing?

Are these rims strong enough for track use?

I have an exact set off one of my BMW's..those things are (in my opinion and by comparison to Fuchs damn) heavy..I would use something else if possible... I couldn't even find a buyer for mine!
Lots of guys use the "cookie cutters" b/c they are cheap and lite..
my .02

Good Luck!


Yah mine are for sale too! 4 @ 16X7's with Khumo Ecsta tyres 70% tread

They're not the lightest wheels around, but I don't think they're THAT heavy.

I've been running a set of 7 & 8 x 16" with Hoosiers on my Carrera for two years now with no problems. This is strictly a track car.

My set is for sale if anyone is interested.
