Finally got my Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 wheels mounted on 205x45x17 Cooper Zeon Sport A/S put on yesterday. My god, what a difference in ride quality over the runflats. You can still feel the bumps alittle just not as much. Also there's no noise in the cabin from running over bumps and manholes like with the runflats.

and ofcourse, here's the pics!




Snickers (my pup) is there to show actual size



Now I can't wait to black out the rest of the chrome!

 

What a lovely weiner (dog) you have! ...and the wheels look great too

 

Veeery nice! Where did you get those wheels? And if you don't mind me asking, how much?

 

King Koopa is now officially "the King".

Great wheels and great ride.

Good to hear you are appreciating the difference in tires.

"Snickers" is the boss!

The wheels are about $173 each

Pro Race 1
These are one of the lightest and most stylish motorsport wheels in the World! Weighing in at only 14.1 lbs in 7.0x15 and 17.6 lbs in 7.0x17 they also offer the most brake clearance for a 17" wheel (this includes our StopTech BBK) they make an excellent choice if you are looking for competition wheels. Available in White, Silver, Anthracite, and Matte Black.

 

I purchased them from eastcoasttires.com. Final price with shipping came to about $1100. Only downside is it took 2 weeks.

You can purchase team dynamic's wheels from outmotoring as well

 

Looks good, now you just need to lower that thing.

LOOKS GREAT......

 

Pretty sharp! Well done

 

Those rims are sweet. I considered getting those a while ago.

Do the Cooper Zeon Sport A/S have good traction and corning? I need a new set of tires soon.

 

After the first day driving them, they handle quite well. I don't have much experience with different tires but the cooper's are holding up fine.

 

Nice wheels!

And Snickers is so cute!!

 

Thank you for all the compliments. Snickers appreciates it too. He's my little gentleman...



Little story...While driving to my friends house with Snickers on my lap with his head out the window, I slowed down for acouple crossing the street. The lady exclaimed how cute Snickers was. So I replied with, it's perfect, a Mini Dachshund inside of a MINI!

 

Number 1

 

I would love to lower it...I'm just not a fan of it too much b/c of the area I live in. North Jersey doesn't have the best roads. If anything I'm trying to improve the ride quality. Possibly in the future adding some Koni FSD's.

Currenly standing in my room are two boxes. One containing 19mm H-Sport Rear sway and the other m7 STB. Another box on the floor containing a used pair of Helix camber plates. I think I'm pretty set for my suspension setup right now. So when the time is right, I'll probably go the route of FSD's.
