Sky Render's Build Thread

I didn't think they fit on the S197. They didn't on my '07.

If you get the correct center caps, they will fit.
IIRC, standard caps will fit with the CF5 wheels but not the F14 wheels where the deep caps are necessary.

I'll take another look today.

Yeah, I had to get special "deep" center caps with my wheels. Vorshlag sells 'em.

Wow, Lucas posted up the only two pictures he's ever taken of his beater![emoji23]

You're 100% correct. Those are the only two pictures on my phone. :-D

Fender gap isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Huge caliper clearance.

Looks good Vince!

Thanks, James! Wasn't sure I'd really like them. (I got the 5-spoke wheels because they're easier to clean, and track wheels get dirty.) But the more I look at 'em, the more I like 'em.

I still think the 14-spoke "mesh" wheels are my favorite, though.

That is why i got rid of the wheels i had, it took way too long to clean.

curious to see how a 275 tire works for track days. I am currently stuck with 285/40r18s for now because of the 3.73 gear but seriously starting to think about dropping down to a 3.55 to expand my tire options.

Well, these 275 RE-71Rs are just as wide as the 285 Goodyears they replaced...

Mrs. Sky Render got me some car bling for my birthday.

The short antenna took all of 35 seconds to install. I also got something even cooler that I'll install tomorrow.

The short antenna is a nice addition. It was the first thing I did!

Getting ready to try out the RE071Rs for the first time...

...on a90-second autocross. We're using the ENTIRE taxiway here at Cumberland Airport today.

Those Bridgestones? Yeah. I took down an XP Factory Five Cobra.

Nice tire choice but the smaller width on our heavy vehicles will cause them to over heat on extended sessions. I don't think it will be a problem for autocross.

Looks like a great alternative to a rear bar. I like it.

No heat issues whatsoever.

I saw a set at AutoClub / Kalifornia that were Chunking (Same size as you are running). This is why I didn't purchase a set for myself which I thought was surprising because AutoClub is mostly straight with few turns inbetween. Long straights to cool tires but it was hot out. I'm glad yours are working for you.
