Same here, you made me want a set of those 5-spokes! They're the best wheels you can get for the ISF without going aftermarket.

Just checked, I saw the optional 10 / 20 spoke wheels. I'm (semi) looking for the 5 spoke, I prefer that look.

These look lovely!

Think they will work well on your F with the blue paint.

Look forward to seeing them fitted!

They're the same as the RCF wheel specs. 9s and 10s, Offsets +50 in front, +41 in the rear.

It's amazing. My track wheels had loads of caked on brake pad particles and dust. One spray, wait, rinse and wipe and they looked new again.

I watched the video and noticed that at the end of the almost 9 minutes, there was still dirt in the crevices on that Audi. Also, the wheels were a rather smooth design.

And, at least for me, it isn't the cleaning that is tough, it's the wax application and buffing after cleaning that takes the time, especially on saw tooth type wheels. I also wipe off the brake dust each time I come home and park my F in the garage. Again a saw tooth type wheel would be far more difficult to clean that a smooth spoked wheel.
