I'll slap you if you get my forgestar bronze burst wheels. Seriously. One badass backhand.

I'm not sure what that is. The only wheels you've mentioned were matte gunmetal. And I thought they were Enkei's or something like that.

I'll hit him up and see if he ever posted them. I gave up on the video, it didn't come out that great.

Also let me know which events you are going to.
I'm trying to go to at least 2 HPDE events while I'm home.

Do you know which events? I'm going to try and go to most of the NASA events next year. I know they do one in February at VIR usually. Might try for that if I don't have to work.

I'm toying with idea of getting a second set of Volks for the track.
18x10s on all four corners due to better rubber choices and being able to rotate the tires.
Considering the TE37SL Black Edition and TE37RT because of the available offsets.

I have a set of RPF1's that I use for track/autocross. 18x9.5/10.5 +15. I'm using hankook RS-3's 265/35/18 and 285/40/18 for now until I can find a way to transport my wheels to the track without bolting them onto the car. Once I figure that out I'll probably be upgrading to hoosier A6 or R6.

Not yet. Waiting until I know when I'll be coming back. How ever I will say this, I will not be going to any NASA sponsored events. All of my track buddies have warned me not even think about NASA. They said their safety is a joke and you are just a $ to them. When I have an idea of which events I'm considering I'll let you know.

If and when I do get a set of rims for track use, initially my track rims will bum a ride on my friend’s trailer. Looking into eventually getting a small trailer for the track that my Z could pull. It would be handy for other things too. I don't have the room for a SUV/Truck and full sized trailer. Tire wise I would get Yokohama Advan AD048 for starters. They're street legal so I could drive on them to an event if needed.

Not sure who you've talked to man, I've been to 2 HPDE's with NASA and I thought it was great. The people were awesome, both my instructors were great and it was pretty well organized. I will be doing NASA next year but I am also open to the idea of other clubs.

Well I have heard that too. I have no dealings with them so I can not confirm anything. If it was just 1 or 2 people saying that I would take it as some one who had a one time bad experience. Considering the number of times I've heard bad things and the sources make me very cautious of NASA events.

I never take one or two bad reviews as fact.

I'm curious what they meant when they said safety is a joke.
