New wheels

Hey guy's and gal's what do you think of my new wheels and tires? Went with OZ Ultraleggeras 17x7 and BFG KDW'2 215/45-17. Saved 9lbs. per corner.

Good choice on wheels. Im not a huge fan of the KDW2s though. When you have to replace your tires, look into the Falcon RT-615s.

One thing Iv'e noticed now , is that now you can tell going around corners that the car is under powered, another words the tires stick so hard that I drop off on my rev's. guess i'll have to save up for a head

Good Idea Don;t get me wrong. THe KDW2s and fine tires, but they weigh alot and dont grip half as well as the Falcons do. Of course, my falcons dont work worth a damn in the wet or snow.
