I just traded my 09 Turbo for a new 2010 GT3 RS. I tracked my Turbo and I used a set of R6 Hoosiers on a set of stock Turbo rims. For those 2010 RS owners, what wheel and tire set up are you using for the track? 18 vs 19s? Slicks? Help

BBS/Hoosiers. Here's a pic of my wheels, and Mooty is selling the same set new at phenomenal price here:

Sorry, Mooty sold them.
He left me no choice and made me buy a second set.

I love these wheels!
BBS/Toyo RA1's because they are cheap, last long and are very consistent, right until they cord.

Hoosiers are faster about a second or 2 during their peak heat cycles, the RA1's are faster before and after. Good for 2 weekends only.

If you want to get a new set each weekend you can go down the crack pipe road of slicks and be another 4 seconds or so faster.

sold to peter.

oh, so so many RL'ster messed up.
there are about 3 sets left in N. America until november.
speedmerchant has a set, $6200, eat your heart out.

i have two more sets. but they aint for sale ;-)

NOW, that peter bought it, i just added two more sets of wheels for my 6 stripper. wife can't argue, i did empty out the garage...

Mooty, Are you keeping those two extra sets for yourself? Peter, how many heat cycles do you get out of the toyos vs hoosiers?

joejoda

Also, where did you buy the torque wrench and adopter?

mooty

yes. i stockpile parts.

though not peter, but toyo RA1 does not heat cycle out. you drive them until they cord. the closer they are to cording the stickier they get.

hoosier R6, first 6-8HC are very sticky. after that progressively falls off. by 12-14, it's not better than RA1. after 15, it's not very fun to drive any more.

This will fill the bill at a reasonable price.
Breaks down and will fit in the trunk, just use it without the torque piece as a breaker bar.

You probably also want one of these *****'s: www.3rauto.com. It's on their front page.
I thought I could do without but the OEM rear wheel and ie is 64lbs!

Use a paint can opener from Lowes to get the dust caps off. Just make sure you stick it in all the way, or you will bend the caps. It's free too:

Buy a few extra dus caps anyway, you are still going to bend them.

Also make sure you don't drop the wheel nut, it will fall apart. Easy to re- assemble, but still..

trg wrench: http://www.tooltopia.com/precision-i...s-c4d600f.aspx

you can take off the handle part (the part with the gauge) off and use the rest as breaker bar to loosen the nut. takes some muscle but not that bad.


what adapter are you thinking of?

if you are talking about the thing that locks on to the wheel nut, it's included in your car. in the trunk, passenger side, hidden carpet panel.

if you are talking about a big rod guiding the wheel on to the hub, it's $350 or so from 3R racing.

TRAKCAR

Beat you to it ;-)

R6 set is $1200.00++
RA1 (3 year old, never mounted +/- $800++, including shaving.

Like mooty says 1-8 HC's Hossiers are faster, then same as RA1 for 9-14, after that the RA1 has another 10+ HC's in it and same laptime till they cord. at 4 HC's a day;

Hoosiers: $300* a day for 4 days and the last day they already suck.
RA1: $135* a day for 6 days and they are good till they cord.
Also less cost, less often mount and balance.

*My fronts last 2x longer than the rears, so it is actually cheaper.

step up and get a set of the 18" BBS from speedmerchant.

peter and mooty are using them and i know of some others that have them too...

im envious of 997.2 RS because of these wheels! my 997.1RS is on BBS E88's, but it not as business looking like the BBS centerlocks.

We teased you enough and you pulled the plug. Good for you Peter, you got a crazy deal on them. Mooty is a class act with his garage sales, I got dibs on his 996 stripper. Just hope he sells it to me for 20K.

joejoda

Peter,
Are you using 18s or 19s with your car?

mooty

thx for the compliment.
sure, if i end up DFL next weekend, you can have the stripper for 20.

mooty

peter and i have identical cars, color and all. his is heavier, denser air in FL you know.

i run 19 on street 18 on track.
peter has no 19" tires, he's 18 all the time.
