Default <flame suit> Dont hate me, thinking of trading in my BBS's for 2 sets of cheaper wheels.

Thinking of selling the Audi challenge ch's that I still havent even put on my car yet, and I have a brand new set of tires never mounted 255/35/18's for...

These as track wheel's.. Average price is around 150-165 a wheel and they are 18lbs. 17x8 with either some 235's or 245's..

<a href="http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i128/Mossburg031/?action=view¤t=flik.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i128/Mossburg031/flik.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

and these as kind of a daily driver, bling wheel.. 18x8 with a 10-15mm spacer, and stretch the tires with prolly a 215.

<a href="http://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i128/Mossburg031/?action=view¤t=privat.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i128/Mossburg031/privat.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

The basic reasoning behind this is because.....lol. The challenge wheels ad a nice touch, they are ok on the track, but not all that light, and look good on the road but dont pop.

If i do this i will have best of both world's, A wheel i can beat on at the track and will be lw and also a wheel i can put some stretched tires on..

opinion's?

You are going to hate yourself when you bend up both sets.
