I'd like to pick up some 18" wheels myself... 20"s are too heavy and the tires are expensive.

I did get some smoke rolling on accident trying to learn how to launch the car for the drag strip. It will do it. Burn outs not needed at the drag strip for a stock 2.0t car though, zero traction issues.

Hey all! I can tell you first-hand that these tires definitely smoke. If any of you are familiar with Tony Angelo from Hot Rod Garage, we hosted him at our R&D facility recently, and he offered to shoot some videos with the 2.0. Here's the first one - may or may not be some rubber-burning antics towards the end...



Thanks,
-Gardiner

Haha that's priceless - reminds me of this slightly more impressive variation of the same idea:

That's such a cool photo! If I had a shot of my Dad doing that, it'd be framed and on a wall somewhere.
