Lol I thought they stopped making the Mach 1 in 2004.

Nice buddy ! I ordered my set from Super Autobacs in Tokyo last year in December, same offset but different color (currently in the Pacific Ocean)

They are super light !

Favorite twin on the forums I think. Minus the louvres. Definitely not my style. Still a nice car though nonetheless. And thanks for all of the pictures. Good models as well! Keep up the good work, I definitely can't afford half the stuff you've managed to pick up.

how's the ride switchlanez? does the car feel lighter or handle better because of the wheels?

I love everything about the car, but I wish the kit was also painted WRB to match.

Haven't had a chance to truly stretch out its legs but around the city, I feel more feedback to the chassis. Noticeably more compared to when I had 235s and way more than stock. Though I didn't lower it any further, it feels lower... maybe because the widened stance reduces roll. Also feels more comfortable than stock though the sidewalls of these tires are quite stiffer than stock as they hardly flexed when I bounced them before getting mounted. Steering is a wee bit heavier and U-turns aren't as tight. Feels quicker in a straight light partly to due more traction. Doesn't feel sluggish at all compared to stock. If anything, it's a little quicker but that may be the placebo effect talking.

Tire model has more to do with how it feels. I tried to pick the lightest (23 lbs), good performing, and narrowest (measured tread width is 8.7" which is closer to a 235 MPSS than 245 MPSS) tire without too much stretch. Hankook Ventus V12 255/35R18 fit the bill. Combined tire+wheel weight is about 39 lbs compared to 40+ lbs for stock.

Someone uploaded this vid of a canyon run/cruise from this past weekend. The guy recording was behind me so if you squint hard, you can kinda get an idea of how the louvers look while driving from behind.
