Wheels
I’ve been looking since the night I brought home the R53 for some wheels. I finally made up my mind today and ordered from tire rack. I hope I don’t regret the purchase, and going to a 18” wheel. I ordered the BBS RF forged.

Nice looking wheels, strong and light (17#)
but very pricey. Even though they’re
forged, they can still be bent if you crash
over potholes hard enough, just like cast
wheels several pounds heavier can,
especially with the 18” size and correspondingly
shorter sidewalls.
I don’t think I’d let my wife parallel park
them for fear of curbing them.
