Garfield, you want to get paid for your testing??

Thanks to your evil posts I'm already raising my expectations to the tune of $2000 for wheels, tires and that G force meter. Now I have to pay Garfield tax too??

And I won't even see my car for another 9 months.

16x7 Panasports weigh 17 lbs. Same Superlites are over 20 lbs. Too bad the best look is so heavy. There is a jewel, however, in the Tire Rack collection. 16x7 Nakayama SSR Competions at $315 and 11 lbs. 42mm offset puts it at the same wheel/shock clearance as a 16x6.5 with 48 mm offset. The only problem is they come in a color that makes the wheel look like it burned up in a fire.

hey brian your PM box is full i guess...

i was under the impression that they were all gone, and the remaining left were in japan. im sure as heck not getting these wheels...

i figured you had already exhausted all the options of getting them in the US. sorry about that. hahaha all for nothing.

there were some 11-13lb 16x6.5 wheels (with proper offset) for 350...i was wondering why you guys werent going for those.

man o man. well if you want some really really really expensive RP01s lemme know...(assuming youre at practice) see you on friday!

I also did some 1/4 time using the G-tech. i have the stock mini S on the stock tires. Launching at 3.5k to 4k on a flat road with DSC on i would do only 15.45-15.6 in the 1/4. After taking the DSC off and a slight double pump on the gas for take offs i was able to get times of 15.24-15.05. hope this helps
