I just believe it would be wise to rethink one's strategy when tracking a 20yr wheel with modern track day/race rubber.
No, that doesn't sound like abuse. But who knows what happened in the previous 20-odd years.

When Jeff Alton was just starting to put his wheel deal together, I needed some wheels for auto-cross and DE in 9/11 x 17. I went with CCWs and have been very happy, as are many AX and track guys using them. I do hope to get some of the Alton wheels for street use eventually.

Nice catch, BTW. That could have been a real disaster.

Like many here, I have followed the build of your amazing car, as well as your post-build issues. Here's hoping for better luck to you in the future.
