Photoshoot of my M3 on the track @ Thunderhill raceway

Muffnbluff · 07-22-2011, 10:01 AM

How did the tires hold up? I'm worried my PS2s will vanish after my first track weekend.

Not first ever, first in this car.

How did it handle on the track with that stretch? I am about to order the same wheel/tire setup but am a little worried since I like to AutoX and HDPE with my car.

From what I heard on the forums and other people they won't cover it.

Yeah my friend has a moonroof so he mounted his on that area which shows a better view when playing back the vid. Since I don't have one my choices were either there or outside on top. During Mfest we mounted the camera on the outside and there was too much wind noise so I opted to try ato put it inside at that location. Didn't get in the way of my view. I just wish I could have it somewhere further back so it shows my steering wheel etc..

The tires held up ok but near the end of the day and at the end of each session you could feel it slide a bit more. I'd like to try out the Hankook RS3's though but most likely I'll end up purchasing a set of dedicated track wheels in 18s with a square setup and sticker tires.

If I were you I'd go with 285s in the rear instead of 275s. The reason why I have 275s were that the tires were previously on my other set of LC 818s that had standard non M fitment (19x8.5+30 and 19x10+37). I needed tires at that time and I knew that I would be getting the M3 offsets of the LC 818 when they came out so I bought the tires with the sizes that I thought would work for both my old wheels and my current setup. I'm not a big fan of stretched tires anyways but I'll run it like this till I need new tires in the future.

I was the only guy at the track running stretched tires from what I saw lol. I felt stupid

great pics! I've always loved the LC818s, they look even better in motion

huyner328 · 07-22-2011, 02:46 PM

Love those wheels. Are there 20" available?

I don't think WheelDude.com makes them in 20", but i'm sure Zoeb can chime in as well.

However, these wheels have a really "big" appearance, so 20" would be overkill, 19's look perfect in this particular style

They look plenty big in 19's. Looks very aggressive. One of my favorite wheel design

Nick-can you have some more side still shots posted? I'd like to see the depth of concavity with these wheels given I believe I'm in the market for these wheels very soon
