Thanks for the wheel suggestions: the winner is...
After much deliberation, I've decided on Kinesisw. Below are some pics of the rear wheel only- was testing for fitment. Sizes are 18x10 front wiht 285-30 P-Zeros, 18x11 rear with 295-30 P-Zeros.

Here's a shot of the new setup on the left compared to the old 17x9s with 255s:

Post some spec's on those 11" rears: Offset?, fenders rolled?, coilovers?, trailing/toe links?

Fenders are not rolled, but probably need to be if hard cornering is in order. Yes, coilovers with 2.5" springs, M2 trailing arms and toe links, offset is +48.
Check out the 18x11 thread...

Thanks, Rishie
Rishie,
Can you guys get Kinesis at a better price that what I paid ($1,000 per corner directly from Kinesis)? I may want another set fore the track!
Thanks,

I think yours can be considered the "ultimate" street wheel fitment. An inch bigger all around than mine, wow. I might see if CCW can replicate for me for track wheels. Mmmm... 315/30 Hoosiers.
I seriously thought about kenesis for street wheels, but after owning a set of Fikses and wanting to commit hari kari after the third time the lips needed polishing, and cleaning around the rim pieces, I decided i needed something easier! Good luck with that!

Nope... i've been tracking on street tires! The only track tires i've ever tried were one weekend on Crispy's dead 255/40 A032s at VIR.
I need to line some up before this season.

Folks I spoken with like the larger sidewall and traction characteristics over the 285-30 as breakaway is more predictable. Use the 285s on the front for crisp turn-in

gfelb,
email me with the exact specs of the kinesis wheels you ordered and the price. It's been a while since we've ordered from Kinesis but I do have an account. I'm gonna send my wheels in and ask for sponsorship as they will go on our Time Attack FC later this year.
I will be more than happy to see if I can get you a deal on the second set.
For track do you want a lighter wheel? What diameter?
