Here Goes... Need some brake fitment/wheel decision help.

Here are the brakes I have on my car... 12.2" Rotors, 4 pot Dynalite calipers:



Here are the previous wheels I had on my car, in 16x7.5", 4-100, +42



Here are the new wheels I bought after abusing the living hell outta those SSRs on the track, 16x7", 4-100, +43:



Problem is that these Enkeis have a raised area on the interior of the wheel (kind of where the spokes meet the "rim". This interferes with the Dynalite calipers in a couple ways... let's just a wheel spacer isnt going to cut it. I need new wheels. Here is the raised area Im talking about:



I need a wheel thats interior circumference (although it is hard to see here) is completely flat/flush. Such as:



---------------

From what Ive been reading/seeing a lot of Volks have smooth interior portions of their wheels, and clear big brake sets. That is, of course, if I want to pay $1800 for a set of wheels that will be daily driven and tracked.

Someone suggest Wedsport SA-90s (+36 offset :nuts: and 17lbs) or Work Emotions....

Does anyone have any pics of these wheels upside down to see if they are smooth and wont interfere with the caliper? Any thoughts, ideas?

Thanks to fellow track/car crew members

or maybe just get 17s or 18s and ur problem will go away, most times companies will say that u need minimum of a 17 for caliper clearance
