Not that I have heard, many guys use these rims for tracking without issues.  They are forged rims I believe hence the lightness.  At $3500 for a set they better not break!

That's as much as your camera gear.  :)

Yeah these will be track wheels for now, than auto-x wheels when the track tires are caput.

I was going to swap the tires with my other rims, but I am unsure the $70-80 to swap them will be worth it.

Auto-X and Track and the occasional rip around.  Not that I can't drive it daily just that getting in and out is a huge pain.  With the top up it is nearly impossible for me to get into the car.  With it down, I lift myself out of the seat straight up and then fall out.

Yes the car drives amazing the seat is ultra comfortable even on long trips (I have done a couple of 3 hour each way drives no problem).  I have no qualms, and since I don't really drive it everyday I don't care that it's a pain.  If I had no other car it would suck I think.  When I don't have a press car I just take the Mazda3, it's too much of a hassle (seat or no seat) to shuffle the cars around in my driveway, it's just easier to take the mazda.

WOT's with the understandable english?

Anywho, I have built my car in such a way that everything is completely reversible :)

I have kept all the OEM parts and everything is bolt on, including the roll bar.  It would take me a good day to put it all back to stock but after doing so it would take a very good eye to notice anything was ever changed.
