Weight and rim diameter,...
Their light for what they are. I just got a set on friday, but for the track,... it won't be good with such a large diamter rim.
I used my set of BBS RK's 17" for the track to get the 12 sec 1/4 mile time. But I hope that it's possible to break into the 11 sec range with my new BBS 19" Ch's. Cheers.

It will depend on the track. The 19" decreases the tire spring rate both vertically and
laterally...big time. The rest of your suspension now has to be tuned to this challenge which means, the amount of spring in your chassis, the wheel rate springs, and very good dampening (shocks). Being a moderatly priced street legal rim they are a heavy flywheel, times four. More importantly... if you like the way they look and they make you happy, buy them, your proabably not going to Sebring right away anyways.
