I used Rays (Volk Racing) wheels because they had very grippy knurled bead seats. No rotating on the rim with those bad boys.

Knurling is a cost-adding production process though, and I can see where abrasive blasting the bead seat would accomplish the same result at lower cost.

Just another detail that trackers will appreciate. Aggravating to lose your wheel balance after the first session and then be running on "square" wheels. Once again kudos to GM from a person who understands and appreciates what they did with the Z/28.
