read the whole thread. about half way thru some of you may realize i'm not really looking for new wheels. i'm more concerned about the rule changes after the fact.
to fill in the missing info. a local CMC guy bought a set of Forgline's (1 piece RS's i think) for his car. they where deemed illegal after the price and weight were known by the directors. they do follow the written rule, but seemed to not follow the intent. i'm not trying to start a war w/ this post, so if you think that, don't. but i do want some CONSTRUCTIVE feedback whether it be for or against me. i'm also not looking for people to post in the thread there, just wanted to prompt some jabber back and forth here.
i still think a limit on wheel weight is a good idea, just not after the fact. lets keep this one friendly. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

it seems like BS to me. so do they want the purchase cost or retail cost? if i can get a set of whatever wheel online on like ebay, used for 100 per wheel and they regularly cost 500 per wheel, are they $500 wheels or are they what i paid? too many circumstances...

limiting the cost is fruitless, the weight/size should be limited. there are too many variables to limit the cost of things. what someone wants and what someone needs are completely different. if joe-blow wants to spend 4k on a wheel to look good, let him. but if you limit the weight and size, i could have a similar wheel for cheap.

as for the mustang guys, there are several wheels out there that are 16x8 for them. i'm having a hard time finding wheels in my bolt pattern, but it seems that the ford bolt patterns are everywhere.
