Great minds think alike!

I'm pretty sold on these as a budget wheelset to track with beat up and such. hard to justify 3x the cost with any kind of reasoning, short of competitively driven purchases..
thanks @Mach V Dan

I will take it!

Haha let us know how these hold up to being abused by your Vortech SC on the track. Thinking of picking up a set as well.

I did the legwork... I want beer too!

gmookher · 01-14-2013, 04:26 PM

ok

I O U BEER 2

yes indeed, bro, there is enough beer and axle grease on tap for everyone...once we're done picking at eachother on FI kits, there is rubber to burn, and cause to celebrate!

I'll take an Allagash Curieux.

mines13 · 01-14-2013, 07:01 PM

Good choice, I just got a set of these myself for track use. Really tough to beat.

Any other wheels around that are sub 17lbs and won't require hub rings?

04 STI BBS. Forged, 17x7.5 +53.

kanundrum · 01-15-2013, 12:12 AM

sorry 17x 8.5 or 9

OrbitalEllipses · 01-15-2013, 12:13 AM

Without hub rings? I'd have to do more research but off top of my head I don't recall any in 5x114.3 OR 5x100.
