The wheels look good, Jantzen. I've also got one of those throttle bodies that I've ported and polished if you'd like to give it a whirl. I've only got one left. I'll ship it to your door for $200.

Man, for a split second I got all excited for Chris thinking Thunder Valley = Thunderhill... but this is not the case. There's a suspicious number of school buses parked there though... maybe it's like what Riverside used to do back in MA


(Nostalgia... I'm fairly certain I was actually there if that date is right, the video is ghetto though...)

No TPMS yet. I'll probably keep it that way for a while and swap it out when i take my old tires off my RPF1's.

I think with wheels and tires these are 2-3 lbs lighter than my other set-up

17.7lbs, but don't forget the tires will be narrower, which will shed more weight than the difference between the wheels.

That's kind of a mean comment actually

The Advans i was going to buy had Nitto 555's on them. I was second in line to buy them but they sold.

I was very bummed when i didn't get them.

Man... saw a scary pic today:



These were off a S2000 going around the Kart track at PR. These are Rays, but it's still unnerving.

Apparently the other wheel is worse. That was off his rear. At least he caught it before they fell off...

Whats the story behind the wheel though? Did he slide into a fia curb or run off the track to a heavy edge? I cant see normal driving do that.
