How much is left on the RS-2 - where are you located? Does mounting include balancing too?

1/32"-3/32" remaining, took them off the kids streetcar when they got down to the wear bars before the rainy season.

Autocross tires don't normally get balanced.

What about pick up and delivery? :lol:

Alan, I have a set of Hoosier R3S03'S mounted on a set of Panasports that will fit you car perfectly. And their BALANCED. Buy the wheels and you can have the tires free. There's plenty of tread left. Probably a bit older than Eric's old tires. Just promise me that you'll slow down for corners, I mean real slow......like you're driving on ice. $300 obo for the set.

Lol........ I am planning to do a track day on them I want to have a good practice on them so I think I will need on avg at least 3/32 on all wheels and tires that will still stick when warmed up. Since I don't want to fork over 400-500 for a set of tires for now.

Crap no one told me you don't need to balance autox wheels - so i've been paying an extra 20 dollars for nothing............

I balanced mine because I'm awesome... and I drove to events :-D

If you are doing a track day, you may want to balance as well, considering top/average speeds are a bit higher than autox.

You should get George's wheels and get all of Eric's tires - you'll have practice tires & wheels for the foreseeable future, haha.

I already have a few set of wheels sitting around - and I don't think Eric's wheels will last me the whole day.

I would balance track wheels - but now knowing that I probably won't balance my autox wheels

Seb I don't have clue as to offset and wheel width. They're 15" with a 4 x 100 bolt pattern and were made for a Miata road racer. Front and back offsets are different. I've never dismounted the tires to measure the width but I'd guess 8 - 8.5. I believe it has 225 tires and the sidewalls are pretty straight. This is all from memory as my back is killing me right now and I don't want to go dig them out.
