16" Slicks? Nice. Are those the same ones that Stagnaro uses? Does that require a change in brakes? Lastly, why the change?

Yes, the same Stagnaro and Maier use.

I have run on Hoosier and Goodyear radials and they have their benefits and drawbacks. They both work great with cooler track temps. The slip angles are not nearly what the 16" bias ply slicks are. The slicks work amazing when temps are over 70+ degrees. When 90 degrees, they are a world apart.

The car was built with running the 16" in mind. That is why the rotors are 12". I will post some photos later with the 16" wheels on the car.

They are "Real Wheels". Nothing fancing. Super light and not too expensive. I will post photos later.

New shoes look killer! Love the old school look with the yellow lettering. Makes me think of Kenny Rogers and "Six Pack" the movie. Looks good :thumbsup:

Here is another shot. It is hard to take in the garage. I am really looking forward to seeing how it does this Sunday.

Thanks for the :thumbsup:

The new wheel/tire package is awesome. :thumbsup:
I'll echo Dave's thoughts, I love how you do your own thing and not just what "everybody" is doing.
