[s-cars] How about some wheels?

[LL - NY]

Nick,

As for the rim, the stock 17's were Bolaro's which were 17 x 8, ET40.
Note: was not offered for US sale. Not that anyone would know.

As for pushing the limit of the rules, sad to say, an UrS will never be 
competitive in any of the street based (GS, CSP, SM) SCCA Solo2
competition beyond perhaps the regional level. Still, have fun, I mean
that's what it's all about, right?
