I have no R-compound experience and all of my track time has been on some form of a treaded street tire. What are the main things to know when driving on R-compounds versus street tires on the track? Do they communicate with sound and feel similar to a street tire or totally different? How long do they last in comparison? Any good rule of thumb to know if I'm even driving at R-compound grip levels or are the street tires good enough?

Whatever you guys can help me with, I'd appreciate the education before I start shopping 'round. Thanks! ]]> Wheels/Tires medpilot105 http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/wheels-tires/193100-dos-donts-going-street-r-compounds.html <![CDATA[:::: UH OH !! ::: 2010 E550 on HRE 890R's By Wheels Boutique]]> http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/wheels-tires/193069-uh-oh-2010-e550-hre-890rs-wheels-boutique.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:31:13 GMT Guys we just finished this up for a local customer who just took delivery of the 2010 E550.

Here are some of the key attributes of the 560C/R Series:

· Hidden hardware three piece construction.

· 6061 T6 Forged Aluminum.

· 18” – 20” sizes available immediately. 21” and 22” coming soon.

We all know there are many other wheel brands available in this price range. HRE challenges them to produce a better quality, custom built, forged wheel than what we know we can deliver.

Please do not hesitate to call me directly to discuss the new 560 Series in greater detail.

On November 15th in Primm, Nevada, Carl Renezeder of team American Flyer went from five-time to seven-time national short course champion by winning the Unlimited 2 and Unlimited 4 titles in the Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series’ inaugural season.
The vehicle was equipped with the new forged Tech1R-1000, the world's lightest and strongest off-road racing wheel.
"We worked closely with Forged Alloys USA to develop this wheel", said the victorious Renezeder. "At 28 lbs, the "Superalloy" wheels were almost 12 pounds lighter than the competitive cast wheels. This turned out to be a significant winning advantage. Reducing unsprung weight by over 40 lbs is simply critical in a race vehicle with over 20 inches of suspension travel".
Congratulation to the whole American Flyer Team for a well-deserved victory!

The Tech1R is produced in the USA at the Forged Alloys USA facility in Oxnard, CA.

Good day everyone, some may have seen this car at Sema, or saw some pics in the Bentley section, but I just wanted to share for those who have not seen it. I have had the opportunity throughout my career to stand in a booth and represent some of the most amazing and interesting cars around the World, and I have to say that this car is up there as one of my Top 5 best.
Shawn from Street Concepts approached me about this project a few months back when he first purchased this 08 GT Speed and he showed me his idea for this project and I was floored at this total One Off car. At that very moment I told Shawn he could count on me to build for him the exact fit wheels for his project, and we agreed that this car would be our flagship for Sema. Shawn brought the car to NUTEK where we removed some other aftermarket wheels and front wheel spacer so we could measure the X-factor for the massive brakes, and build a proper fit wheel that will not require a spacer. Upon the car being fit with the kit, we cut 2 samples and mocked up 2 wheels to go test fit at the Body shop, we made the rims according to the spec provided to go with the kit, but after fit checking we decided to cut 2 new rear centers with a more aggressive offset so we maximize the wide body stance of the rear. The front wheels were perfect, and cleared the massive brakes. We built a 22x9.5 with a 3.0 outer lip front, fit with Pirelli 265/30-22, and the rear 22x11.0 with a 5.0 outer lip fit 315/25-22 Pzero tires. The nice thing with this aggressive stagger set up is the rear lug bolts do not stick out past the face, the wheels and tires were perfectly fit for this car, and performed under race conditions following the Sema Show. Speed Channel recorded a special event out at the race track with 40 special selected cars from the 09 Sema show...the NUTEK/Street Concepts Bentley was a top 5 pick from the organizers...the event will be aired at the end of January 2010.
BIG Thanks to Shawn at Street Concepts for including us in this project, this car is one that will hold some history and substance for a long time, and I am glad we were apart of it! :)

Jim :)
