SA-55M to replace my Rotas

Old set is Rota Tourques 18x9.5 +20 with 265/35/18 Kumhos

New set is Wedsports SA-55M 18x10 +18 with used 275/35/18 R888's to hopefully finish the season. The 275s ended up being a bit to narrow IMO so 285s next spring at least in I think the Hankook RS-3.

Suspension is Swift springs, whiteline rear sway, rolled fenders.

Old tires 265 Kumho XS (6000 miles and lots of events) next to the used R888s

old

new

And recently in use at Road America Passing vettes:

So far so good. They were filthy after the track day but a little TLC they are shiny again and clear of brake dust and rubber.
