New DPE wheels & Nitto Invo setup!
Subscribe
First I would like to say thanks to DPE Wheels and Nitto Tires!
When I started my Cayman project, I knew I had to upgrade the wheels and tires. I ended up deciding on DPE for the project, after seeing DPE's new Step lip setup, it was a natural choice for me since i love step lips! I ordered up a set of S20 in 20's 20x8.5 front, and 20x11 rears.
Next was deciding on a set of tires. After reading some great reviews, and seeing some pics of the new exiting thread pattern from the Nitto Invo's I decided to give it a shot. It's interesting to note that according to the marketing materials, the Invo tread is a product of “state-of-the-art computer engineering and digital audio testing equipment to produce a tread pattern that reduces perceived road noise, provides excellent comfort and delivers exceptional traction in both dry and wet conditions. The Invo is unique tire also in that it has a non-directional tread so it can be rotated, even with our staggered fitment! I ended up deciding on 235/30/20 fronts and 285/25/20 rears, to give the wheel tire a bit of a streched setup.
Initial impression, the DPE's wheels fit and finish is just spot on. I have only driven in dry condition, but have to say the tires are extremely responsive on the road. Road noise is pretty impressive considering the wide rear contact patch!
Ok on to the pics, I will post more pics once I lower the car a bit more

You got to be careful with stretched tires. My friend burst his within the first week. As in the rubber. Although I have to admit it looks sweeet.
I have a 20" too. I am wondering why is it that the profile is always 25 at the back and 30 at the front. I never got to know why.
