Street or Track wheels??

Which set would you use for which one, looks wise. The FN01R-C's are of course wider so I can fit a larger tire.

just go with the track wheels as long as you have the appropriate tires for the street.

Were you at the DGRR meet? I think I rode with a for a while. The FN0R-Cs look hot on you car. Wish you would have had them on during the meet/show.

^Yeah I was there.

^^Thanks alot

I'm kinda torn I like the way both wheels look. I also just remembered after that first pic was taken and I was changing wheels, my wife decided it would be a good idea to drop one of the rears face down in the gravel.

My suggestion:

Use the stock wheels for your track wheels, knowing that they will need to be replaced soon.

The stock wheels are getting older and will eventually crack especially under track usage (reinforced or not). However, if you go into it knowing you'll be replacing them soon, then you'll be fine. My idea was to use them until I got a larger set of 17's (which I did). I have thought about turning the stock rims into my rain rims for the track, but I think it's best to just retire them. I was looking at getting some cheap 17x8 or 17x8.5 Rota Slipstreams and use them as rain track wheels. I figure since they are cheap and easy to find, I can replacement at will if needed.
