Okay gang...Need some opinions...
I have a track to buy two New Panasports but they are not DOT approved...Meaning they are for the race track only... Why can't I use them on my daily driver... Not DOT approved, does it matter...Good enough for the track, good enough for a daily driver (in this case, not all components) 2-OH! |

if Japanese made the testing consists of dropping a weight on a wheel/tire combo to mimic a direct curb hit, on some of the Miata and Honda sites, there have been reports of some of these "lightweight" wheels cracking with no known abuse thrown at them on street cars....
Not sure if Panasports had been one of them or not, but for as many that are running on cars in the Bay Area, I've not heard of a failure, but that does not mean it has not happened or won't. |
