I washed up the Rays in and out with wheel cleaner, but I can't seem to get those black pits that seem to be really stuck on in the barrel. Any suggestions? I even started trying to pry them off with my nail.

Anyways, front tires have about half life left and rear's should be good for another 30 minutes of fun at the parking lot once Spring comes back. I really envy Cali weather. I can't stand how tucked in the winter rims look.

You guys mounting on your winters yet?

Those pics tell me you have some alignment issues. Look at the uneven wear. Unless.... you're doing some serious "cornering" (?)

no alignment issues. it's just that i tend to always turn left on drifts. so there was more rubber burning on the rear left.
the trail marks left on my block after some burnouts were uneven. the left side didn't smoke much, and sparked a little according to my friend. the right side burned just fine
