Racing Wheels?

[CRDMS1]

who is racing there tomorrow? I cant race until I get some new wheels and tires. I dont want to destroy the stock tires so fast.

BMW Club. I feel your pain on wearing out the stock tires.

PM me sometime if you want to work out something on the wheels. I'm off to prep and pack the car for tomorrow

Peace...(hippy)

Its going to be hard for you to find a racing wheel with close to a 55 offset. I recommend the rotas for the price... otherwise its off to keizer wheel or some custom place for $500 a wheel.

hey.. aren't rotas banned from scca now?

Who told you that? DistantTea is running the same Slipstreams that I'm putting on & I thought there was 1 other MSP on here who had them.

heh, nah they were being looked at closely though. a guy in Houston w/ a WRX had some gold attacks that separated at the hub/spokes. the powdercoating hadn't been applied properly and the hub oxidized. he was going through a long sweeper I believe when the rim broke off.

because of that event, they were pretty anal about inspecting rotas for the rest of the season. they are great wheels though.

rota kissed this guy's ass the wheel actually was stuck 7+ft in that tree(2nd pic)

I remember when that happened, but I still think Rota is the best racing wheel for the $$.

I still think Rota makes good wheels. The one time with the Suby was a fluke & the 2 Hondas were idiots & slid into curbs.
