Well, got the word from the body shop, and it's grim. 2 to 3 weeks, so the car will not be good to go for Picton.
I already missed the DDT, and would HATE to miss Picton as well.
I normally drive the gray Scirocco for those that aren't familiar.
I don't know what I can offer in return, but if your car has a 4x100 bolt pattern, I'd be more than happy to toss on my 13" diamond wheels w/V710's.
The tires are from last year, but still plenty good.

The whole car went under attack early last winter.
The motor runs like a champ, but there is body work EVERYWHERE to be done.
The B pillar thing was just the poop sprinkles on my ice cream man. You should have seen the rest of the car!
That's great to hear about the Z!
PM sent.

Anyone?
Still hoping to make this event, otherwise I'll end up working all weekend... and no one wants to work instead of race!

I will likely go. I drive a 92 NX2000 that is seriously gutted. The wheels may fit the car. What is the offset on the wheels? I was there last year and did pretty well on corded 710's.

They are 13x9" with a 5" backspacing I do believe.

Does the 5" backspacing push the tires further out from the inside of the car? Can you measure from the mounting surface to the inside of the tire so that I can confirm backspacing. The other variable is the inside diameter? Can you measure the inside diameter of the wheel, where the mounting surface is? Additionally is there a taper to the diameter?

5" from the back (inside of the wheel) the center (hub mounting surface) of the wheel.
I'll have to get the measurements on the weekend for the hub size.

The hub size we will need along with the actual diameter of the inside of the wheel. I need to make sure that it will clear the caliper.
