Hehe, you've guessed it! I'm getting the CH's w/ 235 40 18 Toyo T-1S's. Whatever weight I gain with
the wheels, I should probably lose back with the light Toyo's. Also, strength is a major concern since I am driving in crappy St. Louis roads. BBS is definitely a solid brand of wheels. And going from the OZ SuperT's, most wheels on the market are going to be *relatively* light. My wheel/tire combo right now tips the scale at 46 lbs a corner compared to the 39lbs a corner for the 17" RC wheel/tire combo.

interesting. a number of folks have ssr comps exclusively
for track use. Steve S && Taner, who is a pretty aggressive driver, from what I hear.
other than shon, you're the only other person i've heard of who has bent these rims.

for me, the center of the CH's are too big. that's just me since tons of folks love them.

I'm also a 5-spoke junkie ....
I like my Integrals so far. About 17.5 lbs for a 17x8.

I really thought the same first I saw them, and put them as my least favorite BBS wheel even.
And I've always had a distaste for the RKs, so that's saying something... But once I saw them on, it all changed, they're different but beautiful (IMHO), and moving, look awesome! I have a hunch BBS puts more emphasis on the moving design than standalone. In evidence...

If you still don't like 'em that's cool. I don't like some other people's wheels here myself, shh... ;-)

Nope, right line. Picture looks deceptive, there's an upcoming hard downhill right hander.
So at the top where I'm at you have to make a late aggressive turn-in as I'm doing (Thunderhill Turn 5). Pretty sure I'm online there, I only got out of control there a few times the whole day (my first time). Fun, fun track...
