It is. Mentioned on some of the other posts in some of the other threads. The H-Sport springs went in about 30 second after the wheels were put on.

It's cool. Actually, the H-Sport quote a drop of 1" for the "S". Since the MCc sits higher from the factory I ended up with an about 2" drop. A very drastic and noticeble (in a good way) difference.

I am telling you, there is nothing rice about this wheel. It looks a lot better in person. The lettering is resessed and very classy. I am not a big "rice" fan. One of the reasons why I have been riding on R83's all this time. I just couldn't find a wheel that I thought would look good with the rest of the car. As some of the other NAMers pointed out, these rims really complement the graphics on the car. Check out "Show me your wheels" thread for more pics and you will see what I am talking about.

Are they really made by Momo?, I ask because I'm looking for a set of wheels myself.
Anyone has some ideas on light wheels (for track) on black (under 200 a piece)?.
Thanks in advance

I really like those wheels. If they made those without the writing on them I would be very interested.

Did someone recomend away to get the writing off? Recessed writing is fine but not with paint in it.

Very nice though.

Wow, check them out in silver. The writing is not painted. Very nice.

Those TDRs look cool. A little bit of writing on the wheel looks OK, but "MOMO MOMO MOMO MOMO MOMO MOMO MOMO" is too much.

I think Dr. O has the right idea - Scotchbrite.

Nikki!! Got recent pics of your car that don't change every 1/2 second like you signature? I haven't seen it since the wheels and aero kit. Looks sharp! Are you going to be at AMVIV?
