Cf looks good, surprised you didn't go cf wheels. Carbon fiber all the things!

I agree with this statement. Car looks hawt!!

HAHA who tagged the thread with jdm? I don't think CF wheels would save that much weight, the fronts are only 9.5lbs and the rears are 12lbs.

[dogwhistle]

Carbon wheels really don't save much if any from experience.

[turbotalon1g]

^How much were your real CF wheels?

[turbotalon1g]

LMAO at the tags!

Got the new wheels and tires on. Previous setup was 16/17" TR Motorsports F1 wheels which were a double 4 spoke square shape, new ones are 15/16" Volks CE28N with 8 equally spaced spokes. New wheels are lighter, though overall wheel+tire weights are identical because I have about an inch wider tires all around now. OEM widths are 195/225, now running 225/245 plus I get to run the Proxes RA1 which aren't available in the OEM 16/17 diameters.

The sidewall looks pretty huge compared to what I am used to, but I'm sort of digging it, they look meaty. The new wheels are flat black but have a tiny bit of shine that should go away after a few miles of driving. The old wheels used to have a little shine too but the mega brake dust basically matches the tire color, which I like.

Next on my list is the APR wing sitting in the garage. It's about as wide as the car, and puts down about 180lbs of downforce at 100mph, a lot more than the 60lbs the stock wing provides. Yes, you can call me a ricer for having a big wing, I'll have pics soon.

Looks mean!

I can't believe the OEM tire sizes! 195 is like a pizza cutter.

The new rim/tire set looks bad ass. Looks super aggressive!
