[QUOTE="Jimmysidecarr, post: 9383378, member: 11681"] Did it bend on track or on the street? Brand? Model? Cast? Those MBs are supposed to be a very nice compromise wheel. I wonder if they have 18" to accommodate the recent scrubs availability shift. The dilemma I am seeing is the jump to 18" adds a good amount of [U]rotating weight[/U], moves it into a [U]larger diameter placement[/U] and the [U]tires[/U](if forced to buy new) and [U]wheels[/U] are [U]even more money[/U] Lose- Lose-Lose-lose-lose! Trying to save money on tires?... [B]yes, good idea.[/B]... but buying 4... 18" wheels that don't add rotating weight is a pretty expensive proposition. I love how my car feels so much more nimble with the 17" track wheels and tires. I currently have, 95Rs and Kumho 710s. I can FEEL the difference easily(the Chrome stockers are HEAVY!), the acceleration is the most noticeable. Since I'm still "grounded" by my doctors there will be no spending binges in my near future. Once ok'd I'm more inclined to spend any moneys on entry fees, front pads, FUEL, and motel. Once I cord these, then I'll have some serious decisions to make. ' ' . Probably end up in a damn spec Miata:bash: Momentum slomentum... ugh! Decisions, decisions.:nonono::( This is a damn expensive hobby once the hook is firmly set! .. [/QUOTE]
