Off-topic, but any of you have any recommendations for a wheel shop in Chicago? I'm looking to buy some 18" winter wheels and would prefer to do it in person rather than ordering them online.

I used to work at Discount Tire (loooong time ago) and the closest one is in La Grange. About a 20 minute ride with no traffic from the loop. I haven't worked with any reputable shops in city.

Honestly you can't beat Tire Rack. They ship mounted and balanced and all you need to do is install.

Thanks!

To those attending FuelFed tomorrow, could I get one of you to take a spin in my car and give me some objective feedback on the drone/noise levels?

Living in Glencoe, I really don't want to annoy my neighbors. I try to keep the volume down as much as possible as I enter/exit, but obviously don't want to attract any attention.

Game time decision for Fuel Fed tomorrow. current weather predicts no rain after 6:30am and 15% chance after.

I'm planning on leaving city @ 8:30am with nwGTS and any others that want to join.

Where are you guys leaving from? I may stop by the Grand self car wash before depending on the rain.

I saw quite a few modern Porsche's and I hung around the area but didn't recognize any of your cars so I didn't say hi

I was basically the only Asian guy there, wearing a white hat. Hope to catch up next time!

Fuelfed folks are really some of the nicest. Next time feel free to chat anybody up. We'll hopefully see you next time.

I will be at the Fuelfed open event this weekend if the weather is good. So far looks like 60 and sunny. I will be driving up from the city if people want to get a group together to drive.

Default Show

We made the show with 15 minutes to spare. I have to say it was refreshing to see unique Euro sports cars at a show. Here in Barrington we have shows every week in the summer, but the same cars are there every week with no regard for the focus of the week.

Good Weather in Lake Forest sounds like to nice morning to drive the ripper!

Son passed-out from a long day at the track! Love this picture! Got to love your kids being into fast Fun cars! Even Got the Lemans factory drivers to sign his hat!

Fellow Chicago Rennlisters we should plan a get together before the Snow!

Cheers from Barrington!
