[BMWCSRegistry] Big naked rims

[Philip Slate]

Just a couple 'o thoughts.  There are street tires and track tires and 
the two are seldom interchangeable.  The aggressive street tire is no 
match for a dedicated track tire and a dedicated track tire is less than 
ideal on the street.  As long as you are going to have a second set of 
wheels, a set of track tires will make your on track experience much 
more enjoyable (read faster lap times).  Hoosier and Kumho make good DOT 
track tires in 14" and 15".  Hankook and Toyo also make track tires but 
I've not used them so cannot comment.  If you drive your car to the 
track be prepared to change wheels.  It's a bit of an inconvenience but 
well worth the effort.
