Anyone running 18x8" rims...

... Btw, I was classed in CMT last time per request. I think we technically belong in CMT, not BMT. But if you want a trophy, do BMT.

Judging by your times at the last event we were at, you could trophy in BMT no problem!

Yea, i agree, I stopped daily driving on azenis after a couple months, just too noisy and stiff. I plan on having a dedicated set of rims and tires next season. I have all winter to decide tire and size.

I think I'll be in the same boat. I can't drive on these the way they are.

Aren't the Azenis already your dedicated set? Or are you gonna put DD tires on the Rotas and pick up a whole new set for racing?

I am selling the 18x8 torques and picking up 17x9 rpf1s (16lbs). Shorten my gearing so I can use 2nd and 3rd, not to mention some extra rubber.

I'll stay with stock rims for DD, I might paint them a darker color over winter so I don't have to clean the brake dust so often.

In CMT, it's an eye opener when you get beat by a N/A neon and a civic by over a second consistently. They are my benchmark, sadly. lol

Well if it's the Grape and that white hatch, those cars aren't slouches. Neither are the drivers, I don't think, esp the Grape's.

I thought that Civic ran R-comps?

Civic in CMT is the orange/rust/primer, very good driver. I think the co driver is a natl trophy winner. The grape is fast and completely dialed in, very good driver too.

The civic runs on a set of season old bridgestone re01rs, they look like rcomps b/c they are so worn, lol.

If I can't beat them next year, I might as well quit.
