Finally got my Kumho XSes mounted and my street tires put on my Circuit 8s.












This combo is extremely light, I need to weigh them, I could toss them around with my pinky finger.

How/where did you get a $20 steering wheel? I'm in need.

Brain - you thought about painting the wheels?

I hate you guys and your cars that run. Hate.

Wow, I can't get over how clean your car is Brainy. Looks like that pole was one of the better things to happen to you!

Edit - That's what she said.

I think you could pick it up for like $35 with a hub..something like that.

the Koseis are painted, they used to be white and are now silver. I've considered going gunmetal or bronze with them. I won't paint these new otas.

They're great on the track and street. Nice smooth break away, don't get greasy (or atleast I couldn't get them greasy). They like ~34 psi.


<10 miles to work=1 set of tires for street and track.

Brain, please weigh them. I'm always interested in lightness in wheel/tire combos.
