We know he runs a stainless steel fab shop... Want to guess what here ring will look like.

 

I just saw an easy opportunity to take a shot at ULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOSE...we all know he has his redeeming qualities like....or...there's always...oh well, nothing seems to come to mind, at this moment

JK, Jason's OK, in my book

 

PM sent.

 

I'm interested in these as well if you follow through and no one before me takes up on them.

 

Looks like about an 8 week wait to get what I want. If they ever show I will start a new thread to sell these.

Thanks.

 

Does your street wheels has to be BS legal as well? I ask that because I was shopping for wheels this weekend, and saw Tire Rack sells a couple wheels that look very close to the MS ones. They are by ASA and Kazera, 18" x 8.5", 45mm offset and about 22.5lbs. And you don't have to wait. Just an idea.

I'm considering them for street and use the stocker for autox, unless I can find a cheap set of stocker.

 

I saw those wheels, Kevin Youngers had them on his Shelby Mustang at the Houston Tour, looks like the P45 and are cheap. I want my street wheels to be BS legal because I may end up using them as rains at tours and natls. I have my own tire changer so I would rather have a two sets of legal wheels and just change the tires than having to buy a third set of wheels.

I could even get the P45 right now if I would take an 18X8.5.

How is that wheel, which weighs more than what I already have, any less of a bizzach to clean when it is the same style as the OZ?

I am shocked those are not gone yet.

 

I though they were sold for some odd reason...hmm, I need money.

 

it would make more sense to dump the OE brake pads for the Hawk Ceramics. I know you're reluctant to change your setup, but IMO; try it, you'll like it.

 

I know you say you like them but you also have blacks on the BS car....
I talked to Hawk about those when I was getting some of my free contigency pads and they said do not use those for motorsports. The stock pads work great, no reason to change.

Keeping the OZ clean is a PITA but I also think the wheel is to busy. I like 5 and 6 spoke wheels. Would love a set of SSR GT2s for the street, but I have only been able to find an 18X8.5".

 

I only chose Black for DKNV's RX-8 because I wanted a more aggressive pad that still worked cold, couldn't get what I really wanted in the OE pad shape, and don't care about dust or cleaning wheels. And autox isn't motorsports, at least not from Hawk's perspective. For them motorsports = heavy track duty. If I wanted a less aggressive pad or don't want wheel cleaning issues I'd choose the Ceramics over OE.

 

Did you consider the OZ Chrono? $325 each, 19.0lbs and classic 5 spoke look...

 

Yeah those are not bad.... The Rota is about half the price.
