Picked up the wheels/tires today; changed them out; cleaned them; took some pics.

Two observations... I used to run 9mm spacers with Falken 615 on the rear, but with Kumho XS, the wheels sticked out too far (same size of tires, 315/30); so I'm running no spacer now.

2nd... those Kumho XS are just like what people said; they are quiet and planted so well when cornering. I like them.

 

Very nice

 

Outstanding! Are these the wheels you sent out for powder coating? I've also been looking at the Hankook V12 or Kumho XS tires for a spare set. I might end up with the XS as well since the V12s don't come in the 315/30 size. I'll be interested in hearing more about the tires as you get some mileage on them.

 

Absolutely stunning Eugene!

 

Looks really good on the car... Even better than I thought!

 

car looks amazing, now can I have those TR wheels My only gripe with XS is that that are a bit chubby on the scales. I should have them at the track within a month so we will see but on the street awesome. Love your car color combo, you'll be my new desktop

 

Thank you very much pinoy!

Yes Eugene, those are my old HREs. That was the same reason I didn't get V12.

Thanks Rich! Hope we can do a group drive soon.

Thanks Alex, what are you doing up so early? Going to SR today? Btw, I like your new avatar.

Thanks Blockhed! Like I said, you are the first in line for the TRs. I did notice the Kumhos are a little heavier when I put them on, but they do feel great on the street. Keep me posted on the track results.

 

paint looks awesome

 

I agree on the XS. They feel really great. The only issue I've had is our winter is having a hard time giving up. We've had 8" of snow in the last week.

 

What a lovely colour, never seen that before. Nice wheels!

 

Are you showing them off at SR this morning? I might come out just to see them in person.

 

Beautiful car man,nice looking,you really take very good care or her.Wheels look amazing,really,really nniiiiiice

 

Thank you LiNks!

Nikolas, I love Truckee, it has so much to offer. I bet you have many many backroads you can drive without worrying about getting a ticket.

Thanks banker, it is not a popular color for a turbo; I have seen (know) only two so far.

Hey Eugene, very good to see you at Santana Row today.

Thanks rdss, I'm too cheap to let the pros to detail my car so I do it myself. I could get all the equipment with the price of one detail... Not a bad deal!

 

My 8 mile commute every morning!
