I got set of Velg vRossi wheels in 17x3.0/4.5”. There was guy that imported them quite few years back. Actually saves couple lbs over stock. Unfortunately they came with crap bearings that lasted only couple hundred miles. Which kinda killed sales I think. So I got them 2nd-hand and spent 15-minutes replacing bearings and they’re good as new!

Yes, I can get 30-days out of Q3+. Got entire season ~50 days out of set of Alpha-13 couple years ago. What really kills tyres are too much trail-braking and skipping rear-tyre or sliding under braking. I find I get faster laptimes by braking less! Now I go flat-out in corners where I used to do massive braking and downshifting. I’ll post some tyre photos in other thread.
