You ran a track day on webspokes? You are a brave, brave man. Do you have camber plates yet? I just got mine installed; I love them and I can't wait to get them out on the track (2 weeks).

I ran my first track day on R90's, and I didn't damage them (although my tire looked eerily similar to yours). I bought dedicated track rims the day after I got home.

bean...mine was WAY worse then that, it was basically the entire outside tread block area. Oh well, a Quaife LSD is on the way, and once TSW finishes up their camber/caster plates I'll be getting those as well. Then my problems should be fixed

that was a long time ago (in car years). very little remains of the factory suspension/brakes. i have 18" HRE's for street wheels, one set of SSR type C-RS (on which i'm putting rains/intermediats) and STILL waiting on two new sets of custom Kodiaks on which i'll run non-DOT slicks.... i'm currently installing new seats (see other thread https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=139088)

aerocooper: i have the factory LSD, but signed up yesterday for the same group buy on the quaiffe. that and camber, should solve many problems...

Please comment on the use of web spokes at the track. I have run mine for 5 track days, but I am picking up a used set of stock wheels tomorrow. Thx.
