Yes I am, I just wanted to get them on so I could test them at the track. As soon as I get my new centering rings, I'm taking them off to paint the hubs.....

About 36-42 psi HOT is where you want to be. Just play around with them in that area and you'll find the sweet spot. Fronts will be different from rears

Yes, paint the hubs real nice Wayne as once you get the hubcentrics on the center caps no longer fit. IMHO I like the look better w/o them. More race..:nod:

Greg,
Thanks. I ran them yesterday with 39 F/R and definitely scrubbed the front a lot more than the rear which is expected since I'm running the stock camber settings with the JCW suspension set up. Can't wait till I can afford a set of C/C plates to dial in some more camber.
Yeah I looked that them and realized that once the centering rings were on the caps wouldn't fit which doesn't matter too much to me.
Do you have a preference for C/C plates? Thanks for all your help to date.:thumbsup:

Looks beautiful...Your car looks very "race" (to quote onasled lol) Personally I like no center caps also... Are those 17s? I'll be going with black 18s myself... Where did you order them?

Yeah, I like the "race" look. They are 17x7.5 with 45mm offset. I ordered them from a place that Greg recommended, www.JayDM.com. They were really nice and they price was great, $520 shipped to my door.

Its called Full Royal Sports Bronze, but they had to be ordered custom since the color is no longer offered. But if you want contact Jessica@sales18racing.com and she might be able to order them for you. Expect at least a 1 month wait for custom orders, maybe even 2 months.
