Well I came home today and found this waiting for me:


Each box contained a Sportmax 003 17x7 forged wheel in gunmetal with a polished lip:


I was sure to weigh the old wheels (17x7 web spoke 2pc MINI wheels with 205/45/17 runflats) vs the new wheels with 215/40/17:


for the old.

for the new.

12lbs per corner savings! NIIICE!

and finally one crappy (I guess they were all crappy) pic of the wheels on the car:


The suspension settled back into place overnight, so I'll take a few new pictures today with the digital camera.

The wheels seem to be of a nice quality. Better than rota's and enkei's that I've owned before. I was worried that the ride would be really harsh with the 215/40s since they are about half an inch shorter that the 205/45s but it's actually more forgiving.

We'll see how things go.

 

Sweet, please post more pics when you get a chance.
