    i just got new wheels back in June. I kinda had to short notice... I had stress cracks in OEM wheels the day before we had to be at Road Atlanta and Butler tire was able to get me the TSW Varianos delivered same day...only ones they had in stock. BMW didnt even have anything in stock, neither did ATD.

    The wheels i have on there now are 18 x 9 1/2 in rear and 18 x 8 up front.

    gonna run Hawk HT10 pads and slicks (something close to slicks) at CMP in november. Just need to get some cheap rims to put them on so i dont have to drive all the way there on slicks lol

    I think with HT10 and slicks i could shave off at least 10sec at RA.... the tires i have now suck so bad i was scared to push the car anymore than I was last weekend. Car felt very unstable and my beadline on front left tire was off so i had a hard vibration and shake in the steering wheel... the tire basicly shifted on the wheel.... scary lol

    Cornering was not easy with all that going on... not to mention the rears are a different tread pattern than the front... 2 different brands too lol same speed rating and tread wear rating though. I was sliding all over it felt like, especially in the afternoon... felt like i was driving chewed gum.
