I was advised to buy them for the track because of their high quality standards, however the downside is that they are not cheap. Which is another good reason to sell my GP wheels to help pay for the 2nd set that I need for the RA1's. They are also a great looking wheel and 14.5lbs for a 17" is very light.

these are my "dress" wheels.....HRE 447's w/ a brushed finish....some folks say they don't like five spokes w/ four lugs, but i think these work! they are "light-weight" for a 18" street wheel. about 19.5 lbs. not a track wheel, even though they are forged. too heavy, too expensive....
