Urge has CCWs that work well for meaty tires and are fully functional for track use - not just show and stance.

Also, for what you'd spend on a regular cast wheel and the cost of widening it, you can get cheaper forged wheels for just a little bit more (no Volks - still too pricey).

BTW, nice shot of junky's car. I always expected it to be silverstone.

Lol nope its a bright yellow banana. Maybe the next tech day we have I can try and get some better pics of his wheels.

The problem with 18's and going with a 295/30/18 tire there really is not much of a selection of tires in the extreme performance tire class. The only good street tire is the advan ad08r and those are $400 each. All the other tires is this size is either a race tire or a max performance street tire.
I'm with you man, I don't want to change my set up. I love my current set up as it is and no you can't complain about a great performing extreme summer in a 295 that only cost $230 each.
