So...
I own one of the older SPF around (#1246) and the wheels that came with it are horrible. By horrible I mean they are unbalanceable (at least the rear ones), due to poor manufacturing (spun offcenter) and the front ones take rows of weights to get them just OK. At any rate I'm done with the steering wheel shimmy at 55 - 75 mph. Can someone point me in the right direction as far as manufactures for this knockoff wheels?
I'm also considering the 17" rims at this time (new look kind of thing)
The original rims are 15x7.5 and 15X9.5
Thanks

That was directed to the OP.

But Upstate how are you liking those big wheels and tires?

Thinking of doing an event this year, lots of experience with other cars but never an SPF.

Just a few fun laps at Watkins Glen a few years ago. Many local SCCA events... but just having spirited fun with the car.. .is what suits my mind and makes me smile!!
