Harmini, you still looking for wheels? By the way my offer still stands. I still say keep it light and don't spend a fortune. I'm looking to drop 80lbs of unsprung wait in the next couple of months. Good luck!

Hi Mark :smile: I thought about your offer, but I didn't want to bother you. Silly me :???:

Too bad the shipping is horrid, I'd buy your holies. Best for controlling brake dust from what I hear.

That said, our dealer brought an MCS to British Car Day in Hawaii yesterday wearing the SSRs and it looked fabulous. They were very pricey, but so are a pair of Bruno Maglis.

don't forget to pay close attention to the weight of the tires too!

Bridgestone S03 Pole Positions may be rated the best, but Toyo T1S Proxes are a close second, and weigh 4 pounds less apiece..

Looks good, but I would have opted for the black rims to compliment the roof, like matching a purse to your skirt. Hee hee.

Now get that 4x4 lowered! Looks like you're ready to go on a safari!

Well, the black rims didn't get enough votes from the ladies of MCO.

In 5 days HARMINI will have the H-sports springs and a rear sway bar. I live in the jungle, so every day is like a safari. But I did need to get her ready for many miles a motoring. Off to NC for 5 days, back to NJ, then up to NH for the Mt. Washington sunset ride on the summer solstice.

I'll post another pic next week when she gets the hem let out of her skirt (springs).
