New Wheels WITH PICS!!!!
New Wheels WITH PICS!!!!
I finally took some pics of the new wheels and tires on my car.
Thanks to everyone on the site that helped me decide
I got 16x7et40 rota slipstreams (approx 13lbs)(i needed hub rings
) in white with 205/45R16 f1 gs-d3 tires (approx 21lbs) not quite what i said in my threads but i combined them in my mind
good news is i love them ride is better and so is acceleration due to the lower outer diameter
...bad news is i have to wait 400miles to get the mold release off and i can tell the difference in turn in with this tires but i can deal with that for a bunch more grip
though the only real concern is i get a slight vibration in the steering wheel 55-63mph but i am going to try and get them re-balanced tomorrow

They look great!
The white was a good choice. I love my white wheel, a little hard to keep clean but I love the look. I should change the brake pads I guess to keep the dust down.
yeah i love the way they match the roof and my stripes, ihmo that little difference between the stock silver and white made a huge impact on the look car
can't say i am looking forward to trying to keep them that white...i am going to stick with the stock pads until my free ones from the dealer run out

Nice pics. I might switch to the black lugs instead of the gold colored ones.
If you haven't already done it, switching to some low-dust aftermarket brake pads will save you a TON of time cleaning those pretty white wheels. . .
