Speaking of rocks getting caught in the caliper i saw a cayenne that got a rock lodged inbetween the wheel and caliper and the rock acted like a lathe and eventually the wheel blew apart split right down the center where the rock was grinding..one of the strangest things ive seen lol.

stock wheels...

Value,

You are right, stock is temporary - okay for the street but definitely not up to track apparently.... I am going to do pilot sportcups in something around 255/40YR17 or 265/35YR18 ... any suggestions?
