Just got a few pics from the photog that was there too! I just made an album instead of dumping them here.

Nice driving Did you get the R7s for stock sizes on the OEM wheel? How many events do you think they last?

[samwisemueller]

Sorry I should have clarified, I'm running BC Forged RZ39 wheels in 18x10.5 and 18x12. I'm running 295/30/18 and 315/30/18. I ran another 6 sessions with them at The Glen this past weekend and are still holding up great. I've got a total of 11 sessions on them and I'm hoping to get a total of 20+ sessions so 1 or 2 more events? I've never run them before but I hear varying feedback on their lifespan. When these do wear out, I'm going to step up to 35 series tires to get back to stock height albeit with a smaller front/rear ratio of diameters.

Thanks for the information. I was also considering getting a set of BC forged wheels with same sizes Did you get the knurled bead seats option as well? If not, have you noticed any tire slipping and/or vibration due to slipped weights?What are the offsets by the way? Are you also using camber plates? Camber up front?

Thanks in advance

I am running Moreno camber plates with -2.5 camber up front. I didn't ask the shop what they set the knuckle to before setting camber at the plates, but I think close to -1.1. The inside of the rim does rub the strut mount VERY slightly under hard cornering so when I do a fresh alignment next year I'll ask them to pull more camber out of the knuckle to give me more clearance. I am getting really good temps across the tire so I don't think I need any more than -2.5.

I did do the knurled bead seat option, I haven't marked the tires to check how much rotation, if any, is happening.

I think the offsets are 14mm in front and 57mm in rear, I ordered thru Paul at PK Design and he can set it up. I was anxious about it but they did a good job with strut and brake clearance.

Not as fast as you, 2:08.9, really loved the track and need to plan another trip.

Sub 2:10 ain’t messing around, congrats. Yeah, I was blown away by WGI! Just wish it wasn’t 10 hours away! Trying to coral some friends to make the trip up with me next year- Still easier trip than VIR. Speaking of VIR—not really looking forward to that drive next month, however...VIR in the fall is pretty spectracular. Carolinas PCA always puts on a great event to close out the year.

What group are you doing VIR with? I was thinking I'd do Audi Club in early Nov but not sure yet.
