Danny! Finally you got your wheels. They look like perfect fitment with Downforce fronts and stock rears. We definitely need a lot more pics.

Just curious...I thought you said this was a second set of wheels for you, and you were using others for DD? If so, why put only Continental DW on, and not an RS3 or Star Spec for the track? How was your track event??

Not meaty or nonstaggered. Still stretching tires. A 245 on an 11"? Still stupid IMO... With those flares he could have gotten a good set that is not - ONE offset and put a 285 on there.

What's up Kevin! Haha yeah what an ordeal just to get my wheels in. Thanks man I'll take some more snaps when I get the car washed. I opted out on getting a second set of wheels. Money is tight right now. I decided that I needed some comfy DD tires that will last, be good in the rain, and be decent on the track. If I ever get a daily and these tires wear out I'll definitely get something more sticky. But for now these will do. The road course was great! It was a little scary at first but after each session my confidence would gain a little more and a little more. I was rubbing the front fender liners really bad (thought I was destroying the fenders and/or tires but I actually wasn't), and my butt was sliding all over the place when I took the hairpins and S curves which wasn't very confidence inspiring. The next time I'm there I'll use 4th gear on the straight away and 2nd on the hairpins haha. I was in 3rd gear the entire time. I'm hoping to get the entire car repainted LBP before summer ends.

Thanks, me too. They've really grown on me, it's hard to picture the car without them.
As for rubbing; very minimal, only on big bumps/dips, or very hard cornering. Most is probably from my rear bumper tabs (not relocated).
