				Just like the title says.  I am about to buy a set of the 10 spoke SS wheels with F1's (8k miles) for $500 for the track.  I remember hearing they were weak.  Is there any truth to that?

				I got a set of 17x9.5" '89 vette wheels as well.  They were dirt cheap-I'd avoid spending 500 just for factory wheels to track with.
