The brakes were fading and I knew it. I will admit I overdrove the car and yes the accident was my fault. I'm not blaming the car. In hindsight, I was on the extended downhill section of the ring leading to Breidsheid which is the lowest point on the course which put a lot of pressure on the front brakes. I was surprised that the brakes went from a manageable and mediocre condition to mush. I guess I shouldn't have said they 'failed'. They just didn't perform to my expectation for that specific corner. As soon as I put my foot into the brakes, I knew I was in trouble, but yes--my fault.

back on the topic of track wheels...
So there was a craigslist listing for wheels that I couldn't pass up. $750 US for a set of 18" lightweight Enkei NT-03M Racing Wheels with Nitto NT-01 R-Comp rubber on them. The set was only used on two different track days so the wheels are perfect and the tires have one, maybe two more heavy track days left in them. My math says it's a pretty decent deal. Here they are in front of "Ruby": I've also attached a matrix I put together comparing the various tire options for these wheels to stock. (Columns shaded in red are what's currently mounted).

Now I read about Volk Racing RE-30īs and Advan RS in this thread. How do the two brands or wheels compare in weight and quality. As far as I researched the Volkīs are forged and the Advanīs are cast. Any feedback would be appreciated.

In general forged > cast. That's not to say there isn't crap forged wheels out there tho. Don't know much about advan wheels, but most people really like volk wheels.
