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)

I'm somewhat confused with the way some of the rules are being handled. It seems like an aweful lot of things are legal by the rulebook yet the directors are "shooting from the hip" and deeming them illegal. Not a good way to handle things in my opinion. The reason I say that is that there are just too many areas where I read the rulebook and the wording is pretty damn clear, yet if I went max effort with the parts I would find out later they were illegal just because somebody feels like they're to expensive. I'm all for keeping costs down, but if the final determination of legality of a part is the cost, it really should be spelled out in the rules. I believe those Forgeline wheels you spoke of should be legal by the book. Would I go out and spend the money for them? Probably not, as I have two sets of GTA wheels to use.

The way things are being handled, I almost feel like you'd have to ok every little thing with the directors in order to be fully legal. Whats the point of the rulebook then?Anyway, I think they should limit the weight of the wheels if there is concern over people spending big money on them. Another thing I see tossed around alot is the option to run "replica" wheels because they fit the intent of the series so well. Sorry, but in my experience most replica wheels are junk and stand a high chance of failure on a 3200 lb racecar. I'd rather run OEM or spend the money on a real set of wheels.
