I believe he is a Tein CS setup which is height adjustable. Totally agree though with finding his pupose of nice stance or lap times.

not all wheels were created equal.

Those Sportmax in 17s may be worse for inertia at the wheels than your Volks at 19". Sportmax wheels have a nice fat lip and are inexpensive, but they are massively heavy and are certainly not intended for racing. Try and find some weight stats on those 17's. I bet they are well over 20lbs.

I am two steps behind on catching up with the status of this thread.

Wise decision staying with quality forged Volk wheels. The strength to weight ratio is perfect for autocross.

Its kind of a bold statement, But I saw them on a white 240....looked badass.

Im still trying to find these.


They were discontinued......but I hear you can still find them. (Ive been unsuccessful to this point)

Speed star D5R. Instead of a satin lip....its chrome. They look GREAT.!!

You may not find too many people that like the "White/Gold" look. But I think it looks sharp.
I have these wheels in 19x9 and 19x9.5:


I have actually fancied the thought of selling them.
