Convo Pro's
One of the lightest and best looking rims for our cars.

Kinda miss them. How are they holding up Motorhead?

Real Racing wheels for my "race" tires. Under 15 lbs each and about $350 each. Real dosen't want to buy the insurance required to allow use of these wheels on the street so they send lots of disclaimers saying "for offroad use only!". I'm contemplating selling these rims and a good set of 275-50-15 Hoosier RS03 race tires for $1500 if anyone is interested in them. Since the tires are worth about $800 and rims $1500, it is a good dael for some autocrosser who dosen't want to flare their Vette. Here is a link for the wheels: http://www.rsracing.com/rscatalog/as...rrw-pro615.asp
