Car: 1988 Porsche 911
Wheels: 17×7.5/9 Linea Corse Fox - RSR Style High Polish(5×130/e35/e16/73.1
The wheels have been color matched to stay with the Commemorative Edition theme of his car.
The owner had the following to say about the wheels:
“For the money they have been great. And the selection of tires are way better than 16’s and the 15’s these replace has almost nothing high performance to choose from. Looks wise I wasn’t sure what I thought when I put them on but love the look now. Had them at auto cross and high speed auto-x.”

Car: 1996 Subaru Impreza “L” (the shell that is, LOL)
Wheels: Rota Grid 18×10 +35 - Hyper Black
It’s been about 4 years since Mike and the GST crew started building this former daily driver into one of the top up and coming track cars in the country. We, at wheeldude.com, have been supplying them with wheels to make their climb to the top of the award podiums. The folks at 247media.org gave it a proper photo shoot recently to present to you it’s current state. The “L” trim designation stands for “Legendary” in this case, IMO.

Terry and crew took 1st place in AWD Street Tire class at the Redline Time Attack event in Jersey. They put together a nice HD video with their race car on Absolute Green Rota Grids (and don’t forget the WHEELDUDE stickers!). BTW, the song in the video is “The One” by the rap supergroup, Slaughterhouse.

The men over at LIC Motorsports are at it again!
Entering the third Redline Time Attack west series event the Takata Time Attack/LIC Motorsports team had a small lead over the competition. In hopes of maintaining that lead the LIC Motorsports crew prepared the Takata Impreza for the unique challenge that Auto Club Speedway offers. The 2.8 mile “roval” includes a technical infield section with slow corners and fast transitions, as well as a high speed banked section were speeds exceed 160mph for the fastest cars. One of the most significant changes LIC made to the car in preparation for the event was a new Brembo brake kit. The kit was developed in conjunction with Race Technologies who was kind enough to be on hand to lend support to the Takata/LIC Motorsports team.

A few words from William about his day at the track!
“Wow, what a day today!! After a bunch of delays that nobody could really have prevented, the time attack competition at the LVMS road course has come to a close. I managed to tuck into a 3rd place finish behind some -very- fast Evo drivers as the only Subaru driver in my class. I owe a ton of thanks to my sponsors, Endless USA and Wheeldude.com, for helping me get back on the track after nearly 5 years of being out of competition! Without them, I definitely would not have been on the podium, and as such my history of never finishing off the podium remains untarnished!!”
Good stuff man! Best of luck at the other events!
