Default Who is running the 949 wheels?

I know John is running 17x10's +52 all around, I am thinking of going 17x9's all around. Just wanted to see if anyone else locally is running these rims.

Also, John, if I get these rims, I would have to go bronze as well. And I have been throwing around the idea of a VIS Hardtop.... Yep... We would have twins! Plus I want to make a front splitter more beefy like yours. Is it okay that I will have an almost carbon copy car of yours. Is either: or

I will probably be picking up the 949's as well. Same sizes as John, but in the black.

I don't want to be "that guy"... Or do I???

Plus I'm trying to decide if I want to work around some Hoosiers that are on CL that are 245-40-17 which would be too small for 10" rims.

THe 6ULRs look great!
on the Mugen style hardtop do you want to get the fiberglass or Carbon fiber?
also even though the Glass is heavier I definately reccomend it over the plexi rear window.

The hard top I can get is an frp with plexiglas. Why do u recommend the glass vs plexi? It's only going to be for track application so the weight savings would be beneficial.

Glass= Much better visibility, durability, and is very difficult to scratch but is heavy.

Plexiglass= Somewhat hazy, making it a little more difficult to see out of, scratches fairly easy, but it is much lighter than glass.

Since your car is a track application and not a DD, plexi will work great.
