And what will they do when it rains? I know I am in the minority here but I think it is plain stupid to race open cockpit cars in the rain. That aside, how would you fit wipers to that? And as GH85 says the drivers would roast in that green house.

Having said all that... it does look very nice IMHO.

I asked the tire question a looong time ago, I agree with the above statements that the wheel sizes are spec and the sidewalls add to suspension... at that time I was also told the larger sidewalls help dissipate heat.
