Got a fresh set of BBS RXs in 17x9 for the track car; same as what's on there now. BBS has them on clearance for $575 including taxes and shipping 
These will be getting a set of Toyo RA1s shaved to 6/32nds

Oh yes the fever continues -- 2 - 3 events then you will want to upgrade the engine to something horsepower wise close to what you had in the Vette-- ENJOY -

^ Haha... yeah... we're slowly tweaking the car. Going to spruce up the interior some and think about building a 331 which is a stroked 5.0 down the road.

The goal here is to maximize track fun, minimize running costs and pre-event setup and post event clean up time.
I hope to run into you at VIR since I'm not getting down to Rd, Atl that much since my move to Va

Well I won't have to keep installing/uninstalling a racing seat. I won't have to keep swaping pads back and forth. Rotors will last 1,000,000x longer.
I won't have to clay/buff the car after each event... these are the types of things that take so much time and make it more of a job than fun

^ BBS directly... if you look on their stite under road wheels, then "show all wheels" then clearance. But they're only 17x9... not sure if they'd work for a Corvette.
That's a good move.

Thanks. They won't work on a Vette as those wheels have a 114mm bolt circle. Too bad. My requirements are a little different since I have a C3 but they still won't work.
