My new rims weigh 17 lbs and the tires weigh 20.5

 

Published weights or actual?

Steve

 

Outmotoring's figure for the wheels and the Spec weight of the Falcon Proxis 615

 

Blake those, wheels are definitely a cool upgrade. Can you post a side view of your car?

I got rid of my run flats and boy does the car ride so much better. I was so dissappointed with the ride that I was thinking of spending $700 on aftermarket shocks , but everything is great for now!

 

I rotated my tires today and set one on the old bathroom scale. Just under 30lbs for tire&wheel. Probably the lightest load thats ever been on that scale.

 

Lol, but youre tires are tiny.

 

Tires are suppose to be tiny when you drive a mini. Ken

 

Bah. Ken, your tires will be in the mail. on monday. They should be there between wednesday or friday, depending on UPS...

 

Blake, ok on the tires. No big rush. Oh, its raining now but not cold. Very early for us to be getting wet. I hope my tires and rims are not tiny. Ken

 

Nope. They are bigger than the onesI have on the car right now.

I did an autoX today. The Falcon tires are incredible. Steve, get them next time. I never once squealed my tires or felt loss of adhesion. It was also a very slow course. I was only able to get on it 2 or 3 times for the entire course. Kinda a shame. Next weekend I[m doing one in a big parkinglot. One of the vette guys sadi he has broken tripple digits in that parking lots at past AutoXes, so I am excited.

 

 

Your Mini Looks So Lonly

 

I is

 

I;m going to have megans on my car by this weekend.

 

The new re desiegned ones I hope

 

I'm not sure... What is the deal with that, anyways?

 

Talk to Steve, he has been following it. They are changing the front ones. That is all I know. Once there fixed we will work on becoming a dealer for them.

 

Are they replacing the defunct ones for people who already bought?

 

That I don't know. I haven't been following the thread like Steve has.

 

I talked to the guy I'm buying from. he said that Megan will giv me the new ones when they come out.

 

Ken, wheels are in the mail. I need to talk to you though. Shipping was woefully more than estimated.

 

Thats what were hoping for.

 

yup. look for pics of a slamed DS S soon

 

Are these new or used?

 

used a couple thousand miles. Were doing a trade for my JCW suspension. he wants to go to stock. Either way, i will have coilovers soon. Besides, The struts wil be brand new soon.
