Default 2 Martinis are better than one

Stopped by my dealer today to order some track wheels and tires and arrived to find out there was a Martini 918 in PDI. We snuck in for a photo op. What a car, I only wish they were both mine. Enjoy.

I ended up going with O.Z.Ultraleggera HLT CentLock(Black Painted) for my track wheels. Best value I've found out there. About $3400 set including TPMS.

Forgeline GA1R or GA3R are lighter, better quality and almost the same price. Much better wheel for track. Contact "4forme" for good pricing or hoosierdirect.com.

The wheels you chose should be fine for light track duty. They are good value. If you end up tracking a lot, the forged wheels from Forgeline will last longer, and won't bend or crack under heavy track use/loads. Maybe without Hoosiers, this won't be a problem. Who knows?
