So are you doing like Josh and going to have these wheels serve as your AutoX wheels? Or still keeping the A6s?

Haven't decided yet. Depends on what tires I get. If I get bfg rivals I'll Prolly sell the 18s. Either way next "track" wheels will Prolly have rivals

Wanted some finer grained adjustability than the store bought stuff. 5 possible locations per inch. Can also have a location higher up, closer to the stock one, which is what is needed.

Great tire choice and width on all corners. That pony will turn.



With the track season in full swing, decided to go the lazy route and pick this up. Getting tired of heel-toe downshifting and my inconsistency. Hopefully give me a little more stability under heavy braking into corners. Smooth in, fast out.
