Eh, as far as I can tell, you'll have to go 16 inch (bleck), or to a 17x8 (sweet). No 17x7 that I saw, either on WedsSport's site, or anywhere else. Unless I was just being shitty at google.

Are you an auto-x guy?

Just curious. I'm more into road course, and I've noticed the auto-x folks tend to choose much wider rubber.

are you sure about that tire weight? Seems REALLY light for 18's

It's what they are according to Tirerack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....=Sport+Maxx+RT

I also read it somewhere else that corroborated the number. Can't remember where though.

The Weds + Dunlop wheel is noticeably lighter than OEM when I pick it up.

Absolutely gorgeous set you got there

Let me know how you like those Dunlops, they look great but the treadwear rating is a little low for my daily driver but everything else is impressive. Needs a little drop now, some coilovers could save you a little weight too...

Nice Brakes too!

I think they're not too shabby for an affordable three season tire. They were very very good in the wet, and good on the dry. I think treadwear is going to be the sticking point. I'll pull one off and clean it up soon for another treadwear photo.

I did over drive the tires a bit this weekend, pushing them to test limits while I was seeing where my own limits were. Managed to cup the edges on the front driver's side.

The brakes are insane. Eye popping. On those dunlops, on my best lap (according to Harry's Lap Timer) with the AP kit I hit a sustained 1.2 G's of lineal deceleration. Also multiple data points of 1.02 to 1.06 lateral G.

Fun weekend.

Edit: Went flower picking off turn 7 at the track. This little slice of nature hung on all the way back to the paddock:

Installed mine recently, and I'm loving the slight color change from silver to titanium in different light conditions. Wrapped in Michelin PSS 225/40, still on stock suspension/alignment settings.

Hello,

Love the pics. Any problems with vibrations with using the center caps and foregoing the hubcentric rings?

mostroscuro 12-20-2015 08:58 AM

None at all in the 8 months, 8k miles, and two rotations I've done in the garage. I just torque them to spec in a star pattern while the wheel is off the ground.
