Need some advice on the AG F542

OptionZero

why do you care about weight when you have a second set of wheels for track?

i mean is there something you're doing during your daily drive that requires 100% optimal wheel weight?

frankly, all the folks that trip over that are kinda funny. Track guys run track tires on track wheels need to worry about the lightest rotating mass. When they go home they slap on regular wheels or put their car on a trailer.

for the rest of us . . . get whatever balances looks and price and functionality?

Because it changes the dynamics of the car. I like how it drives now. I don't want to feel the extra rotating mass. It's not a deal breaker or I would have gotten rid of them. A lot of it was just going down the rabbit hole of thoughts and curiosity. So I just left it here for anyone else interested

How long did it take from the time you ordered until you received them? About 10-12 weeks?

For the wheels or tires?

The wheels I'm sure they can turn around in 4-6 weeks

Well, my car has been at the tire shop since Tuesday Morning. I fly out of town and return Monday morning. Not sure why it's taking them a week to get these on. He knew ahead of time when I was dropping the wheels off. He already had my tires. Apparently his machine was having issues with the width of the wheels so he went somewhere else to get them done. Well, I think they threw my **** in the corner and said whenever we get to it. So if it's not ******* mounted by Monday, I'm grabbing all my **** and taking it elsewhere. My car has been hostage to this ****.

Just picked up the car today. The fro ts are still growing on me, but I love the rears. The tires are 285 square, so thing about the front wheels makes the tire look bigger than the rear. I haven't put Swift springs on, but a drop and getting some more shine on the rubber should help. It could be the shallow face and smaller stepped dish. Anyways see below. Jury is still out on the tires. They are sticky , but the sidewall is softer too, not as I.mediate to transition as the stock tires, but these have a lot more grip. I need air in the fro ts so, this isn't definitive.

The 285's on the 10's,,,are an even fit...They're stretched a bit on the 11's-but if you like that look better; you can alway's put 255/40's up front & have the same stretched look & just 0.1" taller.....+ you'll have a spare set for the rear's.

Edited a pic that was supposed to be there. Shows the slight stretch of the rears. The stretch is mild, I prefer a bit less, but it's fine. I think if I did this again, I'd try 265/35 and 305/30, or do 325/30 and 275/35. These tires might run skinny.

You mind doing one with a small bit of wheel gap if possible?!? Just a tiny sneak peak for when I put Swift springs on
