Some seem to think they are not as strong and easily susceptible to cracking/bending. I have no opinion about this so far. My Hoosiers rotate less and stay balanced better on stockers than OZ.

I just thought it would be nice to keep stock wheels pristine so the car can look pretty when not on the track....but that is not working out for me. Can always get them stripped/repainted later.

That's what I plan to do. As far as strength, I don't know. I nailed the passenger front hard last year on track and it was unscathed.

Finally got a chance to unwrap these today. Superforgiata's wrapped in MPSC tires. Being new to the GT3 platform, I still can't get over the size of a 305 tire. Sorry for the cr@p pics but I was in a hurry. Thanks again Damon...

Here are the ones on the Boxster Spyder (cell phone pics). The 1st photo shows both an OEM Spyder and a OZ Superforgiata on the car at the same time. You almost can't tell at first, the wheels are so similar.
