alfageorgia Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 I am considering taking my street Z into this race series. Step one may be to install the SpecZ suspension, since it needs some refreshing in that area now, anyway. But the details, specs, pricing, sources are vague at this point. Any luck with more definition about where to buy and details? If there is a group buy - let me know in advance. Thanks. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laze1 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Scott...after reviewing the rules..specifically wheels weighs and spacer sizes, I can't tell you that these wheels are legal. However, I have not found a proper wheel that is currently available/in stock that will work in front...that match the rears, in the proper offsets...and with the 13MM spacer limitation...So I am not sure when I will be racing... So, nobody should buy these wheels since they are not legal per the currently published rules (wheel weights/spacer sizes) that appear that will not be changed So we are sure they are a-ok?

Rpf1 18x9 17.10 lbs 18x10 18.45 lbs Minimum weight by rules....18.50 lbs That's a new chart, as I've been watching the posted RPF1 weights with vigor the past months. Add a metal valve stem, wheel weights, etc., and I'm hopeful the wheel will come in at 18.50+ pounds. I'm also waiting for some rules update, which is supposed to occur in the next few days. . . PS: http://enkei.com/size_chart/RPF1.pdf I have weighed and taken notes on the weight of the 18x10.5" wheel, and it is not 19#. Unless they redesigned their MAT process - which is entirely possible - these are marketing weights. I'll have some loose 9 and 10" RPF1s here shortly, and will update with actual weights.

scotts300 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I am not happy with the BFG R1 tires I tested on. It seems, however, that the tires I bought from Jackson Motor Group were the "old" compound, as they have a 3410 production code on them. If my understanding is correct, the compound changed in 2011, though the part number did not. A) I have 20 month old tires, and B) they are said old compound. Be sure to ask what you are buying when you buy! I've alerted JMG, and asked them to help out to make things right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good. I need tires but was holding off for confirmation on these wheels so I may not race in may if this isn't cleared up. I don't want to buy tires for my 17's just to turn around and change everything... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
