hot damn!!i guess light wheels have a disadvantage, i wonder if volk te37's would stand up to that.

i'm sure rota's arne't meant for half grand horsepower, i'd still buy them since my car only makes about 130 hp

The French drove me nuts, but besides that interesting.

Several pages in it was revealed that the caliper came loose and hit the wheel or vise-versa causing the bending. Not engine or braking torque.

speaking of caliper, i want to convert my rear drums to disc, my biggest trouble is finding the caliper bracket adapter from the 93-95 mitsubishi mirage

only with that can i mount the 4x100 rotor that fits the mirage caliper,

I guess that's what you get when you buy knockoffs and try to do motorsport with them. I've seen calipers strike Rays wheels, but not that particular model(the CE28N think it was, one of them spokey ones) The TE37 was fine. Lacking some of its coating, but still alright. The caliper on the other hand...luckily the driver realized that there was contact somewhere in the front. Said driver fixed the problem, then blew the pistons through the pad and into the disc(lost 5 mil off the pistons, too!)
