There was one small negative, and that is the plastic hub-centric rings that came with them stuck to the front hubs due to brake heat from the track. I had to pry them off the hubs with a screwdriver.

I will re-install wheels as I came home from the track on my stock wheels and take a few pictures and check the actual clearance between stock caliper and my track wheels.

By the way, with regards R compounds, the latest issue of GRM magazine has a new tire test worth checking out.

How does one post pics for this site? If someone lets me know, I will post a couple.
Yeah, plastic rings are not good for use on track cars. If you don't mind please let me know how much more clearance these rims clear your calipers than the stock rims. I can host the pictures if you want, just email me.
