...thanks for the pix Trev, the black wheels look super aggressive, a great look for the track. Do you trailer your wheels to the track or drive there on R Compound tires ? (the track junkies dilemma)

When I had my Miata I had a trailer for the track wheels, and when I had my M3 I had a method where I could fit all of them in the car.
With this car I've been driving to events on the track rubber - longest drive was down to the Tire Rack and back. Can't say I've noticed too much wear - even a few long distance events is only going to add up to a 1000 miles or so. I should mention that I don't have a super aggressive alignment that wears tires out fast or anyhing like that....
I was thinkinh of getting the roof rack for tires but haven't gotten around to it....

...this site is the best! Thanks for the input.
I wimped out and decided to go with a BBS wheel with a "black diamond" finish...track rubber will go on the original rims...
...Trev, it better not rain to or from the track...no roof rack, no trailer...
