I only made them for the rear to try to free the rear end up under high bite conditions. Snowbirds will be an excellent test. I made about 15 sets of each size for prototypes. I made 2 thicknesses for good flex adjustment. The thinner ones allowed the wheel to flex lightly on the inside and the stiff ones made the inner sidewall just as stiff as the outer sidewall. They are press in inserts that require no glue or screws. They came out really cool and weigh close to nothing. I made them from delrin and they are nicely machined to a real nice fit in the wheel. I think this will be a key tuning option. How cool is that to have adjustable wheels.
