Wheels look great. I called the company about them, they said they are rugged enough for everyday use, you are planning on more limited use. Do you think they will not hold up to daily rigors?

Also when you drop the "unsprung" weight so substantially do you have to do anything to the suspension? A clue might be if anybody knows if there are any suspension setting changes that are performed on cars with PPCB versus regular discs.

Enjoy your new wheels in good health, and please let us know how they hold up to use/abuse.

 

You really really really really need to paint the centers mexico blue.....

 

Thanks. I wouldn't think 50 lbs., even in that area, would call for suspension changes, but I'm no expert. And I suspect my 20's were heavier than stock to begin with, so it's not a drop of 50lbs. from stock. But I'll weigh the Carrera Classics and my 18" Fikses next week just to compare them all.

It is definitely my understanding that they stand up fine under daily use, and these will get plenty of street time. With no road course in Arkansas, and four kids at home, my track ambitions are always greater than the reality I end up with, so I expect they will get quite a bit of use around town and on the curving Ozark Mountain highways. But they're still fighting against shelf space with the TechArts and Fikses.

I'll keep y'all posted how they drive and hold up.

And I don't know about painting the centers little Brother. That's an awful lot of blue . . .

 

Russ panting the centers blue would be PERFECT, but they look amazing now too! BTW what are the sizes??

 

Um, you know, 19" by, like, I dunno, 8, 10, 12 inches? sumthin' like that . . .

I think they match the stock sizes, offsets and all. At least that's my theory!

Make sure you use some Ti specific lube on the lugs or they very well may become a permanent part of the car.

 

what good are you jk

So im sure its 11" wide rear's, i wanted to buy them off you during your next garage sale, but they wouldnt fit my car correctly

 

looks great, and the sticker even matches the caliper

 

Russ they look bloody phenomenal!

I was shocked to see on rennlist that someone beat you to the punch, you seen his car?

Congrats, was def. worth the wait!

Josh.

 

+1 for a badass look. Not a big fan of the Techarts but these are amazing. And the reduction in unsprung weight has got to make the car feel like a go-kart!

 

very nice!

 

Russ - I love the aggressive look. I'll bet the unsprung weight difference is killer! Nothing wrong with a couple differenct looks for your car. My wife has 100 pair of shoes, so I believe in tit for tat!

 

Hi russ, the Dymags really tie in the front spoiler. Personally I like the looks of the Dymags much better than the 20" Tech Art wheels. Your car looks more agressive and really pulls in the Porsche lines. Porsche's should look racey and now yours does.

 

Hey, great idea! Between my wifes Gucci, Prada and god knows what else hand bags and a garage wall full of shoes this is a great argument for me.
thanks, Mike

 

Russ, the new Dymags look awesome! I agree with you though - I would hate to test their durability with extended street use. Best to keep these for the track
