Totally sweet to see so many B Spec Fit's out there THOROUGHLY mixing it up!!!

Looks like from the pics and assortment, that wheels are a consumable...

What rims are you running? If i recall B spec has a weigh and width limit? Also, are you all on 200tw "street tires" or actual R-comps?

I SO need to get my SCCA Race licence...
