Great meeting you yesterday at the track Daniel. Wheels look very impressive. Shoot me a PM with a price on the F-11's in 18" CL width and offsets with a clear coat finish.
Thanks.

I just bought 18" Finspeed F-11's. Daniel is a stand-up guy. He went out of his way to customize them for me so they would clear 390mm Alcon front discs.The fronts actually clear these brakes more than my OZ challenge 18's clear oem .2 brakes. Something to think about if you're running 18's and don't want your calipers to get so trashed from running such close clearance like on the OZ. The wheels are also very light. 19.5 lbs front and 22.2 lbs rear with the lightweight option. Great people. Great product.

I have purchased sets of Finspeeds from Daniel for my GT3 & cup race car and they are PHENOMENAL QUALITY & CRAFTSMANSHIP. Blows all other wheels I have used out of the water including BBS, Fikse, CCW, HRE...

They are lightweight but strong and after punishing them on the track, racing them hard and hitting curbs, they are still perfectly true and round.

I will continue to use Finspeed wheels on my street and race car. Thanks Daniel for a great product!

On Pole, you are thinking about something else. The Alcons I have are 390mm CCX ceramics... will not fit in an OZ Challenge 18"

Paver you should be running 240 on fronts not 235 18". Not only do you get more rubber to the pavement but the front to rear overall diameter with 245/305 18" is right at stock specs.

i have tried 245 fronts. They rub. But I have more adjustability in the suspension setup now. And firmer springs. When i can get the car to a good shop I am going to see if they can change setup so they don't rub.

More so for a 19 than 18 diameter, but yes for both.

I am in Daytona Beach with my engineering staff until early next week, but will talk to my lead engineer tomorrow to confirm. We can fit a 12" wheel, so possibly a 315-325, but definitely a 305.
Track use?

Yes track use, want as wide as possible without rubbing issues for front and rear. 18" only.

Above stated that ur wheels can fit pccb size 380mm rotors correct?
