if i go 5lbs or more gross weight per corner (tire and wheel combined) i can definitely feel the car is heavier to steer and to brake.

i went back and forth between my current weds with DW's (5.5lbs lighter per corner) vs the stock 19's with RE050A's to compare and there is significant difference. :) but for most folks driving as dd and stuff, no issue.

there is about 8lbs difference between my stock G's wheel/tire combo vs my summer 3pc wheel combo. the car definitely feels heavier to steer and brake.

On my DD I notice a big difference between my 17" stockers and my 16" steel winter set-up. It will come down to whatever I feel is more important to me, looks or performance. I really like the look of the Vossen's, and I have my eye on the SSR MS3's but I've been hearing that they are nearly the same weight... My other fun cars were more show than go so the weight didn't matter. Decisions, decisions... Your awesome photos don't make it any easier for me. lol

I cant complain, love the wheels, cant stop looking at the car and its definitely making me wanna further mod the car. Im almost cried today, theres a pin head size white mark on the lip of the wheel... maybe I shoulda went with 285 in the rear.. def getting some touch up paint.

That's the look I'm going for

Just ordered some reverse light overlays and headlight reflector overlays in a light smoke from Blue Batmobile to start bringing it all together, need to have windows tinted. After all this I'll contemplate a roof wrap.

looks good!
why did you go with such narrow tires? they look stretched

kenchan 02-07-2012 05:47 PM

Yup theres a slight stretch on the rear, its what I wanted. I wanna get the wheels as flush with fender as possible. The front isn't stretched tho... honestly it looks much better with slight strech, just have to be a lil more cautious when driving.

If anything maybe I should have done a 275/35 rather than a 275/30 on the rear... Im a sucker for detail and can see an ever so slight difference from front and rear tire thickness.
