have you ever actually tried to put the stock rims on over the brembos? I'm able to fit my stock 18's over my 14" AP racing BBK. The stock rims have a lot of clearance to fit bbk's.

i have the enthusiast model, so my stocks are 17's, no use even trying those on.

are you using the 18's from the touring model?

I went to Street of Willow in my G before. Its a lot of fun. Can't wait to do it again, I wanna get some track rims/tires next time though. I did it on my stock 18s this time, my stock Michellins started giving out after 6-7 laps.

I ran lap after lap at Buttonwillow on the Volk 19's and Yokohama AVS tires and had no problems at all. It really depends upon the actual product. Volks are meant for the type of [ab]use of the track.

Very true and yes, Volk Racing 19's are doable. Although not the best Idea, and very limited on tire choices and compounds.

i think 19s are fine as long as your not questing for that extra millisecond off your time. Id track on my 19s if I wasn't trying to sell them
