Does this theory apply to Road Racing as well. I have found some smaller Diameter Z06 Replica Wheels to replace my 20's when I'm on the track. However they come with a "not for competition" disclaimer. What is the weekest link? Grip of the tire, Wheel or Lug Nuts (Camaro has the Heavy Duty Lugs)?

Appreciate any assistance.

Thanks
