Hmmm...wonder what's inside the bag???



Dude...that looks like a set of ADVAN A032R tires



It is!!! It is a set of ADVAN A032R tires!!! Right on!!!



Oh, those rims are gonna look sweet on your Brickyard!!!



Hell, I'm just happy to have an ACTUAL set of racing rims separate
from my daily drivers. This is gonna be SO friggin' nice. I can't wait
to try them out on the track this weekend!!! Just in time...

Funny, I was looking at the exact same setup for my Brickyard but using MB competitions instead - simply b/c the weight of 20.5 lbs was posted. Did you get a weight for the "Weapons"? I'm assuming you went with the 17x9 and 27 offset?

Be sure to post a pic of those rims once they're mounted on the Brickyard!

Oh, it is a great package for the track. At least for me. They look good and run great.
The ADVAN's stick like crazy, too!!! NO PROBLEMS what so ever. Bye-bye understeer...



And, no issues with VDC or ABS or anything either. Aside from the 17" size, I don't see why
these wouldn't fit over bigger brakes either. There is PLENTY of room between the spokes
and the calipers. Just not the rim itself. But, I have tested both track BREMBO and stock
running HP+ and Hawk Blue. The later works better anyhow. So...

Here's a better color shot with Brickyard:



Nonetheless, I'm glad to have my 18s back on. Not use to that "low rear end" feeling.
Especially in the turns with a full tank of gas...
