Does anybody else bounce it off the rev limiter as a warm up cycle anymore or just me?

Wouldn't it have been better to mount the tires after the wheels are refinished?

I do. I'm pretty sure I saw it in the owner's manual.

I just got those same wheels. I don’t have your patience. I put them right on the car (they definitely need to be refinished but that is another story for another day). Even with some rash I like them waaaaay better than the twists

lol. When I switched from air cooled to water cooled, my driving style didn't change that much. I guess I'm just used to 6300 from my '70 911T days.

Whatever you do I would avoid black. It's not that I don't like black wheels, I just don't like wheels that were never meant to be black

Oh hell ya. I think I've been roped into a track day sometime this fall. Should be pretty exciting with old tires and brakes

i need to do 20 years worth of maintenance so I'm not terrified of throwing away 35k
