Question about wheel strength
Can anyone rate the wheels offered with a '08 Coupe in terms of strength and weight? I like the QX3 chromes better than the polished forged Gumby 5 spokes or the silver or grey split spokes.
The question really relates to installing extra stickly tires and having a go at one of the tracks like Motorsport Ranch.
TIA, Jack

Extra stickly tires have a small increase in traction compared to stock tires so the extra loads imposed on the wheels aren't significant. If the wheels are OK with the stock tires, any road course track tire you put on it won't hurt.
