Are you guys with AR1s running narrower than stock width on the rears? Stock AP2 rear is 17x8.5, tirerack lists only 17x8.

Thank you.

this is really old, but MR2S2K, I would like to know if you, with all that goodies and the best of what japan can offer, take the advantage of the weight savings and strong wheels and cf vent hood (because you're making over 500whp and the heat is too much for the engine compartment), and actually take your car out and race them competitively?

if not, why does it matter? Volks and prodrive and other manufactures wheels are expensive because they offer low weight without sacrificing the strength of the wheels as well as it being balanced really well at high speed turns and high speed straights.

if you take your car to get groceries and you don't push your car as hard as you should at the track, doesn't that make you a poser?

just a thought.
