Is that the staggered setup running on the track? I wonder if staggered setups understeer, and maybe the best track setup would be non-staggered...?

With suspension mods (KW v3 and HR sways, front and back) the car handles VERY neutral. No issues whatsoever.

Although the focus now is on Carlos' VS8 design, I had to mention this (which will also apply to the VS8s)...

So my car is in for the retrofit oil cooler, and my SA says to me,..."the Tech had to take off the right front wheel of your car to begin working on the oil cooler, and the first thing he said was OMG...these wheels are so light."

So, I laughed and said to my SA, "see I told you these VS7 wheels were very light @ 20 lbs./each; I wasn't lying."

I think b/c BMW has so many "high performance" wheels that look good, but are still fairly heavy AND even most of the aftermarket wheels out there for our cars are also >25lbs./each, nobody expects the Morr Alloys VS7s (and soon Carlos' VS8 design) to be so lightweight.

Just had to share. Again, great job Carlos...after a few months, I'm still very satisfied with my VS7 wheels (although they're still a PITA to clean

)!!!!

btw -- Carlos, my SA may be calling you for a set of VS7s or VS8s for his E46 M3.

Did you have to get TPMS for your wheels or just the valve stem covers? I've asked multiple times, but no one answers. Thanks.

Transfered the TPMS sensors from my oem stock sport wheels to the VS7s. No big deal.

You are swapping out parts designed by some of the top engineers in the world because some guys sponsored by a company told you it's "better??" But when you ask the same guy about tracking, "oh no, I have a kid now" or "I just detailed my car." or "i just got new tires."
