I'm looking for sources for new slicks. I'm also looking to buy 18" track wheels new or used in 10 and 12 " widths. Where does everybody buy their wheels and slicks? What slicks are being used in what configurations on sub 2400 lb 951's? I would really appreciate the help here. I ran on Dunlops slicks last weekend in 315 rear and 265 fronts on 13 and 10" x 18" Kinesis wheels. It was a hoot! Help a bro out here.
TIA

Hey Lanny. I can't help you out here but I'm curious just the same. Also what are you doing as far as oil starvation with those slicks? Did you have understeer with such a big width difference front to rear last week? Lastly, what are they like, they do sound pretty awesome! What had you been using to date?
You might want to re-post in the racers forum.

Wheel Enhancement.com does wheels and slicks as well.

I put a Linsdsey Oil Pan Baffle kit in and did the rod bearings at the same time. ZERO issues with starvation. I had no understeer at all. I took first place in GT-2 and seventh overall in a 40 lap race on a 2.2 mile road course. I didn't get the car loose at all except for an emergency avoidance situation. I had run the car on a set of old Toyo Proxes the first weekend I raced it. Either way I'm sold on slicks. I figure once I get the suspesion set up for the slicksa there's another two to three seconds a lap. Whoo-Hoo!
