Danny,

I run Erco stars on my race car with no problems, however I wouldnt like to run them on the street to be honest!!  :-\

I know Kev Donlon SAS Renn-Wagens had some street weight Ercos CNC`d with Star cuts but again didnt clock up too many road miles with them, so unsure of durability?!

Regards,

Paul  ;)

Eric has discontinued the race weight wheels as of a year or so ago. The .190 cut outs are ok for the street.
