Thanks! We don't all have eight bays unfortunately. If someone would buy these freakin CCW's, that would be lovely.

So in other words, PJ needs to "step up" and get the deal done. Too bad he won't be here on Tuesday for Adrenline Racing, that will be a GREAT day.
Bad for our tires, great for track time!
Any other mod's to report?

My new mod's are - new tires and gas to run at the track, Obama was supposed to be the fix?

I thought the wheels were sold - when something sits on the market for a long time, price is too high ;-)

E88s look good!

Sorry I cannot make the ar day

Btw stock sized r888 at bob woodman are less than $1030 a set (my guy at les schwab corporate is pissed - he cannot touch that)

R888 are great street tires, what do you run on the track?
Josh has a nice set of CCW's you could put your Hoosier's on, you are running Hoosier's arn't you?

Since Josh won't ask the tough questions, I will (all in good fun).
Wish you could be here for A.R day, maybe next time?

PJ - Just buy them already. They're the best deal you'll find on light wheels for out cars.

not running hoosiers... MPSC and R888 so far...
are you guys driving to the track on hoosiers?
I have considered them but was told they are very easy to puncture on the street and since I am driving to the track... I would hate to see a track day go up in smoke over a puncture on the way to the track.
Was I misled?

In any event, my last day on R888 was in the pouring rain... my R888 have been pretty good and at $1026 for a set...

Educate me on the hooisers -- what sizes, driving to the track, etc...

I drove nothing but Hoosiers when dry. I come down from Mill Creek no problem As a matter of fact the only time I had a problem was with PS2. Picked up a nail on the way. Did not notice until when JR was driving and spun in 8. Right rear tire had lost pressure and we did not know it. With the load on the tire off she went. 245 front 315 rears on the 996. Way better tire than the others and since you have 14 sets of wheels should not be a problem

That is what you want, only if you want to be FAST and experience grip and braking beyond belief.
Then agian, you are the competition, so keep running on street tires!
By the way, stock wheels don't cut it either, too heavy.
245/315"s rule!
