Thinking of starting parking lot racing. What would you all recommend for a budget tire and wheel combo. Would the weight of steel wheels be a huge detriment? I have a 328...honestly it's not going to be that fast anyway.

Unsprung weight is your friend. Find the litest setup you can for the money.

Did you get out to Qualcomm this weekend for the CCA event?

such a small world.

Jim, whatever you find will be fine. You can spend between 100s and 1000s. Once you feel competitive, weight may be important. Tire choice too. I think you need to first tell us what side of Budget, Style, or Performance you want to be on. I'd make my decision based on budget.

My experience is, I getter better advice at the driving events than I do on the internets. Best thing you can do is... work a corner with a few different people who have information you want.

those pics are great. looking forward to the other 275 he's gunna load up later.

I couldn't get tire pressures right all day. Couldn't turn in correctly to save my life. Still had a blast though. You were looking pretty damn fast out there.

Albert is a champ. He takes such pro quality autox pics.

If I recall, you turned the same times as me? 110.6

My problem was, I look fast, but I'm really slow. Back to the drawing board.

I got into the 107's but I managed to hit a cone on a straight section. I hit more cones yesterday than I did the total of all my auto crosses. Unreal. Probably should have been running in the high 105's

There's always next time. Gotta take down J and that SC 318is. Little thing is a monster. Gun to a knife fight.

Yes, as an observer. Looked like fun...I've been wanting to join in for a while now.

I'm looking for the least expensive way to enter. I would like to get some racing slicks and a basic wheel combo for under a grand if it exists. Basicly I'm looking for the best bang for buck. I though that the best upgrade in terms of performance would be wheels and tires.

Were you running the 2002? The supercharged 318 sounded great.

I was. My 2002 is the not so pretty, mostly gray with a blue stripe, car that would go through the finish gates at like 7/10's.

Your car is sweet--it's defiantly a classic. You are really quick with it too--faster than many of the modified M3s.

[200Duece]

Thanks man. It runs really good when comes together. On the right day there's only a handfull of faster cars at the local CCA events. And my car has got 25 years on 'em.

Jump on my wheels/tires. Its an awesome maxed out setup. Nothing like stuffing a 255 up front. The car is completely neutral. The wheels are in excellent shape and the tires have only 1 full (25min x 3 session) event on them.
