Photos: BC Forged 18" ZL1 1LE track wheels(UPDATED 10/10/18 with video) - Page 2

With the 680mm tires, the tire comes very close to brushing the fender liner. I'm talking 1mm close. I ran a 680/19 last event and never noticed anything, but I also never checked for clearance. I'm going to go ahead and run them my next event, we'll see if I still have liners after.

As previously mention, clearances are tight all around. The random "clunk" I heard last time must have been a rock falling off the tire and getting pinched between something. I found no evidence of rubbing, except one scratch on the back of the wheel in a location that isnt near the brake caliper or strut.

With that, I am going to use them without a spacer. It certainly couldn't hurt to use one, and I may throw a 3mm spacer on the front one session just to see if there is any difference. But I think they are good to go as is.

WHERE DID YOU GET THE WINDOW STICKERS??

No issues at the track. The inside wheel weight would clip the plastic brake air deflector at full lock, a non-issue when I trimmed a few mm's off.

Niceee. What kind of laps did you do at Sonoma? Got any vids?

NITEMER · 08-26-2018, 02:43 PM

Damn that's a sexy beast!!!

Chris Edwards · 08-26-2018, 07:31 PM

Is the car lowered? 18's look sooooooooooooo good on these cars!

That's a great lap. Nice speed. Definitely pretty committed in a few places there. I might have missed it but what tires are you on? From the pics I assume slicks.

There video’s linked were the stock G3R’s, in the pictures above they are take-off Pirelli DH slicks.

Looks Fantastic Sean. What have your impressions been on the DH's vs the 3R's...laptime wise. I have mine mounted on the stock wheels just waiting for some cooler SoCal track temps.

I can't say I'm sold on the idea of using a slick during a track day. I will post more on this later.

Chris Edwards · 08-28-2018, 06:50 PM

Those tires look very "meaty." What is the overall height compared to a stock 1LE tire?

Please do. Interested....

A couple of things come to mind in regards to the slicks. They can be a great value, at only $700 a set. They are hit or miss, though. You never really know what you are getting with take-off's. In the two sets that I have had, I had about 1 flyer with corner speeds 1-3mph faster than stock, but overall was consistently faster on stock G3R's. With this most recent set above I was fighting for rear grip after only 3 sessions.

I will fully admit to you this may partly be due to not having a proper setup nor a change in driving style. Slicks definitely need to be driven differently. I did not change my camber or toe and my tire pyrometer stayed in the toolbox. I shot for about 32psi hot and that's the only thing I did. I'm sure some testing and set-up changes would help.

Regardless, the thing that stuck out to me the most at the end of the day was annoyance. Annoyance in dealing the warm-up time of a slick during a track day. Lining up at the front of the line, just to be passed by everyone because you have to drive at 4/10th for 2 laps, and then having to pass the same cars all within a 20-25 minute session was not exactly fun. Nor would I imagine, it was fun for them when I attempted to keep slower cars behind me during those first 2 laps.

I get it, slicks make you cool. But I'm not sure I see their purpose for a track day.
