Which rims should I use for the track/autoX?

Originally I was going to use these for the AutoX and the Track. Now that they are the car I'm undecided. Just looking for some opinions..
I plan to use V700s for AutoX/Track and S03s for the street.

The only thing about the Rota's is that one Rim has a little bit of curb damage, but it's not that noticable.

Hey they look really good against the blue I am not just saying that.. Changed your mind now that they are on the car......After you said you would take them I got two PM's from other people wanting to know if they were still for sale...

I wouldn't worry about any superficial damage to your track wheels. They will likely get chipped up in time.

Before I got my track wheels, one of my stock wheels got pretty chipped up from going off course. I recently got my track wheels and they are in better condition than my street wheels.

I can't wait for our next event since I will be going from street tire to AS (from stock tires to 255/40 V700s):banana:

Just like when I sold my car. Calls started coming in after sold it.

I'll probably still use them as track rims, but will drive on them until I can afford the V700s. I think I'll stick my stockers back on for AutoX though. They really change the looks of the car though and also make the Brembos stand out.

Tim, whichever rim you think is nicer you should run on the street.

Either way, they look good. I was (happily) surprised to see the Rota's fit over the Brembo's.

The Battle's clear fine, but Rota no longer makes them. The only other Rotas that fit are SDRs and Tarmac II (new).
