You get what you pay for, as they say. My advice is to definitely inspect them often. Each time mine broke it was during light to moderate side loading, and I could hear a distinct "POP!" Both times I assumed is was a sway bar mount, and both times I was wrong. That being said, they are cheap and light, and I have *almost* two sets of them. If anyone happens to have one or two with no tires, I need to pick up at least one to complete a second set (and possibly a second for when I break the third wheel). ;) After this, however, I'll probably force myself into a stronger (and unfortunately more expensive) set of wheels.

Certainly in my case, they were always on high speed right hand turns that I'd feel the car's 'hiccups' as the pump is starved of fuel.

All this in one season. He's certainly no little old lady driver, but I wouldn't call him violent or careless either. YMMV. As I recall, Tire Rack has a note on their web site saying that Koseis aren't recommended for street use. The mantra for wheels: "Cheap, strong, lightweight - pick any two."

I was given a recommendation from Active Autowerke to go ahead a sport a fuel pump upgrade kit if tracking the car - the demands of track environment plus supercharger make it a must. The fun never ends, nor do the expenses :) Matt Bader <mbader@exammaster.com> wrote: Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 07:00:38 -0500 From: "Matt Bader" Subject: RE: [E36M3] Fuel Starvation Excellent, thanks!

#10. 11 to 18 Button OBC Conversion - from Jeff Bjerke
Top
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2007 0:32:49 -0500 From: Jeff Bjerke <jbjerke@charter.net> Subject: 11 to 18 Button OBC Conversion My 11 button OBC has some failing pixels and I just bought an 18 button (thanks Stan!). This car is mainly a track car and it appears I can switch a couple wires and hook up the 18 button OBC less the additional functions. There appears to be conflicting stories about the difficulty of getting the remaining functions to work. Part of it seems to be hooking up the stalk to be able to cycle through the additional functions. Is it fairly simple to add the remaining functions without the ability to use the stalk? Anyone have a procedure for that and/or the simple wire switch for the basic hook-up? Thanks- Jeff 98 Red/Blk Coupe
