also i got a wheel/road hazard warranty with my car that will replace any wheel or tire on the car if they get damaged, so if you curb a factory wheel they replace it or curb your track wheels on the way to the track they replace that too. pretty cool

We know there are 18s that clear. What about 19s? Obviously we can order the Laguna Seca wheels in black/polished from FRPP. Are there other choices? I have a set of 18s but am thinking about a second set of 19s to maintain the gearing and the factory speed limiter. 18s will change both of these significantly in a 30 or 35 profile.
FRPP Laguna Seca wheels:
M-1007-DC1910LGB* Rear
M-1007-DC199LGB* Front

The SVT PP wheels are approximately two pounds lighter per wheel than the LS wheels and they cost about $700 more per set. I was informed that the TSW wheels are not as strong as the Ford options I've mentioned but they should be fine for street use.
Gary what's the price difference between 18 and 19 track tires?

Yeah those Corsas are not cheap. I bet most LS owners will use P Zeros for the street. If I replace my wheels with the SVT wheels I'll use the stock wheels for the track. I've read the 19 inch tires were a LOT more expensive but that doesn't look to be true.

Thats one of the reasons I was looking into 18's. So if the price is not that much of a difference than maybe I'll stick with 19's.

I'm going to end up with a set of each so will be able to experiment with different tires. The gearing/speed limiter issue is only on the biggest tracks.

I painted my 18" Enkeis gloss black and ordered a set of LS 19s. I posted pics here:

2) Continental slicks aren't available new only to race teams. I wasn't able to find takeoffs anywhere but would be interested if you have a source.
3) The Boss 302 suspension is not tuned the same as the 302R so each would respond differently to different tire setups. The 302R presumably has a fully adjustable suspension that the teams can tune for a square setup.
