Can't wait. I'm literally going to have a set of wheels for a car I don't have yet lol

I mean, I don't see the issue

@Apex Wheels If I am planning to track my Blackwing a decent amount, would it make more sense to buy a set of VS-5REs rather than the VS-5RS?

They actually don't carry the VS-5RE in 4BW fitment, so that sorts out that problem for you lol. Don't be worried about running the sprint line - I have 20+ track-days on a set and we run them on our endurance car... We bounce off curbs all day and they're fine.

^ Basically this. The enduro line is a great wheel but one of it's main features is the increased load rating on the spoke side. The inner lip area is a bit stronger over the Sprint Line wheels but not nearly as dramatic of a difference as the spoke strength.

Unless you have loads of downforce and running slicks or similar tires, the Sprint Line will serve you well. For what its worth, I run the SM-10RS on my personal C6 Grand Sport over the past two seasons that sees about 10-time trail events a year and they've been great. Hell I just had a rear hub bearing crack at Sonoma and the wheel/tire are completely fine.

Sidebar: Do you have any pictures of a CT4-V BW with the SM10-RS? I went through the gallery and couldn't find any.

If you're on the Facebook groups, someone posted them about a month ago with them on. I believe it was a black 4BW. Looked really good. I think these cars look great with a lip.

Can you copy & paste those pics here for those of us who don't do FB?

Any idea which of the groups? I feel like I join a different one every time I log in.

I have the flow formed version SM-10 sitting on the rack waiting for spring. Unfortunatelly, wouldn't have on car pics until April.

I should have traded my caps for those!

 

[piranha971]

I would have totally done it!

 

[VR_IRL]

Also waiting for a picture of the SM10 wheels. I'm on the fence about them

The closest I can find that customers have sent us is this CTS-V sitting on Brushed Clear SM-10RS

Man, I'm itching for VS-5RS in 19" for my CT4.
Too bad there isn't a good 200 TW tire in the sizes they recommend.
