I put my new wheels and tires on and washed the car yesterday so I thought I'd share some photos:





I weighed the stock setup - hollow spokes with Sumitomo HTR ZIII's in stock sizes: 58lbs rear and 48 front.

Then I weighed the new setup - Champion 18" RG5s with with Michelin Pilot Sports in stock sizes: 48lbs rear and 41 front.

You can really feel the difference behind the wheel. Car feels more agile.

Also, at Edwin's suggestion, I installed the clear turn signal bulbs and there's no more orange in the headlight housing. I like it!

 

Congrats! Looks Great!!

 

looks great Mike!

 

Looks great. Big weight reduction.

 

looks great!! any info on the clear turn signal bulbs that you mentioned?

 

See Edwin's post here:

At Edwin's suggestion, I bought them from here: http://www.xenonmods.com/
Click on "7507" on the top left. You need the 7507's in chrome/orange and the chrome/red in the rear.

 

Looking good, bro! Do you have any plans to install coilovers? I think some PSS9/10's would really tighten things up, not to mention the car would look killer on the Champions!

Well done.

 

Thanks Adam! A suspension has been on my mind for a while now (since my first track day). I'm on the prowl for a nice used set. My only hesitation is that, if you look closely, my front lip spoiler is already cracked. I constantly encounter steep driveways, speedbumps and potholes, so I'm a bit hesitant to go any lower.

New Lip spoiler is on the way, BTW.

 

Looks awesome Mike!!!

 

Great looking wheels - stick out on the seal grey. Really like the deep lip.

 

very nice looking setup. the wheels look top notch.

 

Nice Looking

 

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

 

thanks for the info. rep for you ,. sorry for being such a noob, but the turn signals in the rear flash red? I always thought they flashed orange?

edit: btw, edwin's link is inactive for some reason

 

really nice... time for coilovers...!
