    I assume they're just wet sanding a few scratches?

So my body shop guy who I give a ton of work to is doing as a favor for the business. should look amazing. BTW, i unpacked the wheels which were like fort knox lol. I went to pick one up and about threw it over my head. They are super light! Ton of tread and super sexy. we shall see

    i have never had slicks so not sure. Dave, Adam what do you think? Should I swap em at teh track or is 5 miles too far? I probably will just trailer it to the track incase something breaks lol

    Depends how often you plan on going to the track...1 time...yea I would drive it, but thats just me. Its not safe to drive them on the street, any moisture will give you trouble trying to brake suddenly.

    If its dry dry there shouldn't be any problems. Don't take cloverleafs at 60mph.... Take turns slowly, avoid standing water and you will be ok.
