I was thinking about trying the RE11s due to more upcoming track days I’ll be attending this year so your feedback would be appreciated. But at 1/2 the cost the Indy 500s are hard to beat!
I had the predecessor to the RE-11, the RE01R on my Bmw and these seem very close to me both in grip and responsiveness. I really don’t think you’ll see a huge difference in lap times without going to something like Michelin Cup 2 or another DOT Track tire.

I will have to take some from a better angle, but I do have this one on my phone.

Very nice

I'd love a set of four RE060 (18x9.5) for track wheels that retain the OEM look.. However, the weight & cost of these are too much to justify.
