    Question for those that track their car

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    When you take your car on a road course, does it screw up your wheels? I have nice 3 piece rotiforms that I would hate to ruin out there. Here's a picture for reference

    Never messed up wheels at the track, other parts but not wheels. I guess if you had a good off track you could.

    I use separate wheels/tires for the track. Less unsprung weight and stickier tires; swap back after track day.

    going off into dirt/gravel can ding up your wheels pretty good. Also depending on the track and what you drive over you could damage the wheels. I run separate wheels for track but that's also because I have dedicated track tires.

    Thank you for the responses guys! Guess I'm going to have to get another set of wheels

    Rims will get very dirty-covered in brake dust and some tire pieces, but I've never scratched or damaged a rim. Tires are another story.

    Yep, you wont see damage with typical track use (unless you go off, then all bets are off). You will however see a TON of brake dust, so be prepared for that.
    The brakes on our car suck in stock form.

    Based on your mod list, I would focus on the brakes first with at least changing the fluid, lines and pads. Rotors if you have the ability to on short notice. Make sure your car isn't too low either on the suspension. It looks like your airbags have a lot of range in them.

    Yeah I know to at least swap out brake fluid and pads. I was just curious if I should find different wheels or just use these. Thanks though!
