After a bit of discussion and research I have decided on buying a full set of 6061-T6 Heat treated monoblock forged aluminum wheels with GT4 offsets from Race Tech Forged. These are manufactured in USA and the facility is ISO certified. Sizes ordered 9x19 and 10.5x19. Plan on running RE71R's 245's and 285's. PM me for any additional info if needed.
I will write up a review with pics once they are received. Stay tuned.

does not look like you have seen the numerous comments from mooty, orthojoe, beancounter, etc regarding what they think ideal tire sizes are.... not 245 up front

And wondering when 295s in 19" will be available as well.

Correct guys , typo on the 295 , fixed in post. I have read all of the excellent info on the proper sizes however , I am running -2deg front camber (stock parts) for now. 265's could rub without more negative and dont want to chance it. With the current setup , there was virtually NO push at Cal speedway Roval on stock MPCS2's. Full soft bar in front , and middle on rear. I have to give credit to GMG for their setup , was very happy.

What is the concensus on TPMS for the new wheels? Pro's /Cons? Issues without?

Thanks

For track wheels, I find the TPMS Circuit mode useless. I added the sensors to my wheels but now think it was a waste of money.

Dan, I too pulled the trigger on set. Thanks for posting the info on FB and putting me in contact. Ordered the same wheels (not sure whether to do gloss black or satin black) with the knurling and V1 package. My car is white with gloss black carbon APR kit. Did they give you a weight on those wheels?

gulf911

Excellent! Satin black is more of a race look and gloss is classier imho. No , they didnt give me weight. I got the knurling only. Didnt go for the lighter , probably should have.
