Wheel rim choices.

Post by MartinsAtom » Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:24 pm

Hi All.
My Atom is track only and am looking for advice on suitable rims to run Slicks on.
I have 15/16 × 7 rims and want to go wider but seems to be very little choice.
The Atom 4 runs on 16/17 dia rims. Is this viable for Atom 3?
Thanks

I was running slicks with 15" up front and 17" rears. If you want a wider front's, you can go with 16's upfront but will need to mess around with your wheel arches.

Hello,

I have dymag 7" in front (15"), 8" Rear en (16")
I have also a set of Rota slipstream (via skunkwurx), lighter than Team dynamics and Technomagnesio.(that i have too). Heavier than dymag, but really really less expensive.

Both of them have:

slicks Yokohama A005, 190-580-15 front/ 210-580-16 rear or 230-630-16 (better for the too short OEM gear ratio).

Never try 17" on rear.

Cheers
