My New Wheels

So I've had my C2S for a month now and I'm really enjoying the car. I tried the Fabspeed bypass pipes and just did the PSE hack. Now it was time for some new wheels.

I like the clean five spoke design of the Champion RS97s and prefer wheels with a lip. When I picked up the boxes, I actually thought they were empty for a second because the wheels are so freaking light! : )

19x8.5 in the front and 11.5 in the rear. I was hoping to use my current tires since they're practically new but had to go with 305s in the rear after checking with Damon at Tirerack.

Looks great!
I think you could probably get 325's on those if you wanted bragging rights for super-wide tires.

Too bad you have to have a front license plate.

325/30-19 Pilot Sport Cups to be exact and Ruff uses an 11.5" rim with these tires.

Also used on the GT2 I believe.

Nice looking car.

Thanks for all the compliments!

It must be the angle of the photos that make it look like I need spacers because in person the rear wheels and tires go right out to the edge of the fender.
