Looks great. Congrats. Can you really tell the difference with the decrease in unsprung weight?
You need some centercaps....there is always a critic. :smile:

Great look. I'm going to get the K-1s when my runflats wear down a bit (Unfortunately only 4600 mile on the so far). What size & what tires? I'm leaning towards the 16x7.5 with the Yoko's es100s. Tell us about the difference in ride and acceleration.

wow - excellent look!
I'm kind of itching for wider rubber; the 7.5" width and excellent offset (45mm) of the K-1's is perfect to pull that off. Two thumbs up from me

Cheers,
Ryan

haha, yes there is, the caps are on the way to me. :smile:

Thanks for the compliments everyone !

They are the 17" with Kumho Ecsta MX's 215-40 also have the h-sport springs.
I can really feel a difference but i think its mostly the kumhos vs. the runflats.
