The wheels are from Group4Wheels and they are 16x7 and 8. Offsets are 23.3 and 10.6 but these visibly have a deeper look than my old Fuchs. Tires are 205/55 and 245/45.

Thanks. So standard Fuchs offsets then. Makes sense.

I thought TC was based out of Little Switzerland. That last photo looks like Snowshoe.
Looks super fun either way. One of these days, I'll get to a TC.

It usually is but due to the devastation in Western NC from Helene, Charles had to relocate it to Snowshoe. He pulled off a great event with fun routes in short order!

Definitely hope you join us one year.

I got mine up on my scissor lift. I removed all 4 tires and cleaned out the rocker panels in the rear. The fronts were pretty clean, but the rears had a accumulation of sand and small rocks. I had to break it up with a screwdriver, and then a vacuum cleaner.

It had been 20,000 miles since I did that last.

Next up is 196,000 mile oil change and valve adjustment.

Picture didn't seem to come through first time....




As far as cost - more than I wanted, but less than other places.... (~600) probably could have found a place cheaper, but these guys are handle some really high end clients, and come highly recommended..... Plus, they have a k-truck inside the store

Ceramic coatings are so over worded, over used, over advertised, over promised.

Remember the tornado fuel saver extra 10hp.

BTW I'm selling ceramic coated tires, they stay shiny and last longer

Replaced the front blower motor which decided to burn out on the start line at the Empire Hill Climb last month.
