Now on to the Forgestars with Toyo 888s 285/35/20 and 315/30/20...

Tires are grippy... Drove 5mi round trip to a buddies house show him the new treads... Picked up every thing. Should do well at track. Road noise wasn't a big deal... Fuse is out on my npp exhaust anyways

On to the wheels...
Got them from a member here ... Good price 1300 shipped with lugs and center caps...

Lug nuts are junk. One time torque on and taking them off the finish is fubar... My McGard work just fine with the wheels will be using those.

The center caps, even putting oil on the oring required me to hit them with a rubber mallet ... Broke a couple of them... Gonna lathe out aluminum ones... Factory was plastic.

There was so much paint in the hub and lug nut areas that the rear wheels stuck to the axels... Had to rock them off... One I had to beat the tire with rubber mallet... Going to take some sand paper and remove the paint in the hub area ...

Finish in the wheels were ok... Some blotches/bubbles from the paint.

I think they will make a fine track wheel... Eventually they will get powder coated matte black ...

There was a ridiculous amount of weights added to get them to balance
