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...

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...

I got everything from Discount Tire...mounted, balanced and heat
cycled. Picked them up from the store, wrapped and ready to go.

Granted, I did want to try the new Hoosiers instead. But, they do
not stock them at Hoosier West. And, I didn't have the ability to wait
for them to ship me a set from IN. So, I went with these instead...

VERY GLAD THAT I DID!!!

( ) At that price??? They are light(er) than most. I think 40-something with tire.

( ) Muy INexpensive, for sure!!!

( ) Yes, get some.

( ) 255/40/17 tire.

( ) 60AA - but felt like 40.

( ) I'll let you know. First event wasn't too bad.

Like I said: I HAD NO REGRETS!!! I still prefer the 18" for
higher speeds, though. Plus, they match the door handles...
