Took me a couple minutes of going from photo to photo before I realized exactly what you did. Looks nice!

As an aside....I just went from a 215 to a 205. The steering
response feels quicker. Does this make sense? Or am I just
feeling the effect of new tires? The 215s were bald BTW.

I went from a 195 to a 205...steering response feels slower...guess it makes sense it would work in reverse.

Took me a while to see that you changed the center decal. looks much better. I see that you have the Green brake pads...? Do they really produce less brake dust? I have the R90 17" wheels and they are constantly covered in dust.

Thanks,
Ryan
