I ditched the 7 & 8" - 15 fuch replicas and went with 7" - 16 oem fuchs all around. Someday I'll need to have them polished.
I'm also trying out the new Hankook Ventus RS-2's. They are supposed to be similar to the Falken Azenis in performance and wear, but a bit less expensive. I'll be doing a 400 mile plus road trip this weekend on the Talimina tour and 120 miles of it will be on some great roads to see what these tires are capable of.

QUOTE Are there any guide lines on this? Would this be acceptable at a DE event? PCA says 'the amount extending past the open nut should be equal or greater than the width of the stud' (14mm -or- 1/2" past the end of an open nut) |

I run Ball end open lugs on my wheels so I wanna know. What does PCA say about closed nuts? as in Porsche alloy (light as a feather) lug nuts? |
