Those look fantastic!

I cannot wait to see the car on Saturday. And Sunday, and Monday and Tuesday and Wedenesday....

I always thought the Fitt's were heavy. Is this a lightweight wheel?

You SHO off

When we are swapping track rims/tires on Wenesday I would like to try one on for sizing on my car.

If you guys (gr8wyt) need or forgot anything give me a call on Saturday when it get to the area.

If not see ya Sunday before 9:00!

What do you mean shaved. I have 235/45wr17 ecsta kumho tires. Will they fit with no shaving, I was told yes.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Blue Thunder,
They are DOT legal competition tires. At full molded tread depth they make good rain tires at the track, but in dry conditions they work best with 4/32nds or less of tread depth. For more info check this out. The link will time out soon, so you would have to follow the links at tirerack.com. Just click the "brands" button, "Kuhmo" and then "Ecsta V700" under competition tires.

I do not know what they weigh. I never put them on a scale because I know they are relatively heavy. Without knowing the exact number I can live in the "ignorance is bliss" cliche'. The car is down to 2800lbs with a half tank, so I am not too concerned overall. The main selling point on these wheels was price. $360 for all four before the powder coat. Thanks Ebay!

They look like they have a pretty nice sized lip on them? Or is that just the angle in the first picture? They look great, thats for sure

The spokes curve inward at the outside of the rim. They are the same offset as my Tubolares.

They still clear big brakes?
