3. stock rims are strong enough
now i do have a question about #3.. are they?
if i don't plan on having r-comp rubber and stock rims are strong enough to handle track abuse (but again, i see people getting budget rims for track use so i'm guessing stock will be at least as strong as budget?), am i missing any other advantages of having another set?
i just don't want to spend extra $1500+ on a set if it's not necessary.  |
The stock wheels are plenty strong enough. I have 4 track days on my OEM tires and also 14,000 miles with plenty of tread remaining.
If you're pushing hard the PS2s will get a little squirmy once they get hot (6-8 laps) but they are a good tire and take a lot of abuse.
