Cool

I bought the car in Miami, and it had Limo tint all around.

I can't see well at night and had it removed except for the rear window which is still black.

I just couldn't sacrifice safety for looks.

I too have the RG5s. Very light and SWEET. When/if you ever slam them against something (umm, like I did several months ago), here's a good place to have them fixed & refinished. http://www.wheelcollision.com/ -- Would really like to know where they farm this work out to. One guy I spoke with said "we haven't gotten them back yet". Earlier that week, the owner said "we do all of our work in-house". -- yeah right.

They make good track wheels so I assume that's why you got them...for the street 18's look way to small on the big 4S. Also, it would look better if they were powder coated to match the tips...

In your humble opinion..............

Oh yeah....they look waay to small.

Actually, they look sooo bad, I'm ashamed to even drive it.

What was I thinking? Should have called Fly first.

O.K., let's see a show of hands of people with C4S' that changed to 18" wheels (for the street)? Even on the C2 most prefer 19" aftermarket for the street...it's a commonly know fact, not just my opinion...ask anyone who follows these cars or call any major aftermarket wheel manufacturer...I'm sure they will overwhelmingly concur...

For track purposes these are great...perhaps that's why they came with Pilot Cups????

What you seem to fail to grasp, is that I did it because I like it on my car.

I personally do not prefer 19" on my C4S.

Thanks.
