If they are going to be dedicated Rcomp wheels do something wild with them…a complete contrast color is where its at.

Agreed, makes for more people shooting photos of them too. I cannot stand shooting the GTC4 guys with PCA it’s a field of 40-60 996 Cup cars all white, except for a few ex ALMS cars which have crazy decals. Impossible to figure out which car is which for the first 15 laps or so.

I have to disagree a bit. If you don’t like the way it looks, you won’t like the pics you get. So, if you will like it more in black, then do it.

I never suggested that he runs NASCAR. I hated the wheels I used for this past season, so I hate all of the pics I have. If you don’t like the way it looks, does it really matter if you have a bunch of pics???

You really should try to get out to one of the big two-day events. Makes the local events seem kind of boring once you run the big courses at the nice sites, and meet some of the top drivers. The only caveat is that you have to be an SCCA member to run the National Tours or Pros.

Toledo and Devens aren’t all that far, and are better than any sites we have in WNY or FLR.

14+ sets and counting. The hardest part with used is trying to cord a set all at the same time so the set can be matched instead of mounting one at a time.

The only question is do they hold air? If yes, then there should be no further questions.

Somehow I doubt that. For me, a set of used r comps will generally last me 5 or 6 events of autox.
