Just ordered some Ecsta MX's for the street wheels with the Tirerack link. I'll order a set of r-compounds for the 17x11's later.

If there is anyone here who purchased some black 17x11s 50mm all around and wished they got chrome instead, send me a PM. Yes I'm an idiot. I changed my mind after already ordering and its too late.

I changed my mind after already ordering and its too late. I talked to them this morning, the are already buried in the truck and I can't change them. The good news is that if you can sell them, I can order you another set at the GP price (they had a slight price increase after this started, but it will be the same or very close). So, you might try to sell them off and I can re-order you another set in black. Also, the black wheels will be arriving on Tuesday (they are ahead of schedule) since Monday is a holiday. So, they will go out about the middle of next week. |

I don't think I'll have a hard time getting most of my money back for a brand new set, and I don't have a certain date I need them by. I could probably sell them by twos to people on LS1tech. I do appreciate your help though making the call. |

Trying to decide between Kumho MXs and Falken 615s for getting to events and back-up tires (in case a race tire cords or it rains) for autox/track use. |

(of course, you are in the same state). Hey Bock, go get your tires mounted, would ya? Okay Okay. I got a big surprise when I opened up the wheels. They all look round, and I ordered the square ones. Just kidding. However, either by mistake or pleasant surprise, they included a full set of chrome lug nuts with one locking nut for each wheel, plus a chrome valve stem for each wheel. Must be 40-50 bucks worth of extras, which I cant actually use for the race car. (I do have other cars they will look nice on). Im thinking this may have been a mistake, so if they want them back, they need to send me a shipping account number. Thanks bock |

OE wheels usually packages lug nuts and valve stems with all their wheels. Glad to hear you got yours. I already have my tires here and waiting.

Trying to decide between Kumho MXs and Falken 615s for getting to events and back-up tires (in case a race tire cords or it rains) for autox/track use. Same deal here-street and backup use. I went with MX's because I know the camber I have for race tires will kill street tires so I went with the cheaper option. FWIW I've been under the impression from some that the 615's might get better wet traction, although they start out shallower 8/32 vs the MX's at 10/32 IIRC. |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/rotf.gif) Besides, if you got the square ones, you'd only be able to buy tires at Pep Boys. They seem to have the market cornered on square tires...... |

All eight wheels arrived today (Louisville, KY). (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) A little heavy as expected, but the finish quality is really nice (hey I'm using one set for the street).

Sweet. I have to give the guys credit for hammering out all of that shipping in a day. I guess they talk to about a billion people each day and some of them will be serious, some won't. Once they figured out that I was truly serious, they were great to work with.

Would someone who got painted wheels weigh them and post results. I am mainly interested in the 17” x 9.5”. I see the weight of the chromed version. Thanks, Bob |

My 17x11 painted rims were 27.5~27.75 also on a medical balance beam scale, about the same as reported above for chrome (but not on the same scale).

Thanks, Bob Welcome back Bob. It's been a long time sir. If you would want a set, I can still get them at a discount for you. They did have a slight price increase and it may change slightly, but it should be close. If you're interested, let me know and I'll check. |
