How do the 13" evo 4-spoke wheels compare in weight with the other 13" wheels on the market?
Is it worth chasing the extra (or reduced in this case) kilo or are they quite light anyway? I guess the other problem is getting them in a suitable
size width for slicks, although I guess you will be running a controlled tyre.
Sorry for the random question, I may get a set of 13" next year for slicks. evo 4-spoke from a ford seems a sensible cheap option.
Your car looks smart by the way. Any decals going on other than the compusary ones or are you sticking with basic white?
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

possible. Cheers
