Motegi Traklite
Wednesday, March 28, 2012 7:57 AM

Hey guys. I wanted some feedback in regards to the Motegi Tracklites.
I am looking forward to change/upgrade my 16' ls sport chrome wheels for something stronger and lighter and I was thinking of Motegi Tracklites, any thoughts?
I found a really good deal(I think it is a really good deal) of Traklites 16 x 7/5 x 100/ +40 offset for $650, what do you guys think, is it worth it?

Which version traklites?





I think there are like 5-6 different versions out now. Most are 5 spoke. Some are 6 spoke. Most are forged, and some are two piece forged.

ALSO...what is the Hub Bore?

40-45 offset is fine.

I know they "used" to be sold in 40, 42, and 45 offset.

Hi, thank you for responding.
bolt patter is 5x100
Hub bore is 70.64
Manufacturer Part Number: MR2388678040
It is 1 piece forged
Material alloy
Width 7 / Diameter 16 / Offset 40
Its the second picture I believe.
What do you think, for $650 is it worth it?

$650 for a new set is a GREAT price. Normally they are 250-300 a piece. Used is an average price.

J-bodies hub bore is 57.1mm.
You'll need some hub centric rings. P/N HR-705710 would be close, but I would call motegi to get exact size needed. Part number I gave is for 70.1mm by 57.1mm.

Where can I buy the centric rings from? Are they for extra precaution or to make the right fitment before installing them?

Summit racing sells some, and most parts stores.

It keeps your wheel centered on the hub or else it can slide around and break off wheel studs.

Can someone verify me what size of centric rings I need in order to fit the motegi traklites right? Thank you and much appreciated.
