Those are my super-heavy ultra-cheap 17x9 autocross wheels... 40lbs each!!! http://www.sparkimg.com/emoticons/disbelief.gif Yeah, they suck, but they're the only low-cost 17x9 on the market. Anything else starts at 3x the price of these, or requires adapters.

Some day I'll have some forged lightweight wheels, but the ones I want are $800 each... so for now, these at $90ea will have to do.

My first autocross of the year is this Saturday! Can't wait!!!

Looks pretty mean. I used to really enjoy autocross back in my Corvette days,and pretty darn good if I do say so myself (and the driver of the year trophy says so too):p Good luck on Saturday. Just a tidbit here: Back in the days before lawsuits,I designed a course through the streets of downtown Latrobe,that was one awesome day that I will never forget. I was so freaking nervous,being the hometown celebrity that day,I blew the race big time.:p

Derek, ya gotta get that car down low! It sits waaaay too high. :D:D

(Looks really serious like, "Do NOT mess with me!)
I've actually been thinking it needs to be about an inch lower... :o

I love the stance of your car. The rims looks great too.

Makes it look like the car is all business, no messing around. I can see daylight under your car, needs to be lower.

Love the stance...it would not do well on the roads here in Michigan.
