Wheels are on!
Choosing a wheel was tough. Ultimately I settled on the OZ Ultraleggera, but choosing a color and size was even tougher! I was originally planning on the 17s for the weight savings and extra insurance against road hazards (I am in VT..), but function lost this battle. It was when I saw @
frsguy707's FRS on these
exact wheels that I could resist no longer. The color looked so much better in his photo than on tire rack.
I've only driven a few light miles on this combo so far, but I'm already very pleased. Even with the little driving I did it feels much more planted. Tonight was actually the first time I noticed any body roll. The gold on WRB is amazing too - I freaking love it! It was also kinda uncanny how much more attention it attracted tonight from bystanders and motorists. I feel like it truly looks the part of a supercar now
I tried to weigh them but could not get an honest reading because the tires were too wide to fit on the scale. You can feel the added size and weight tho, no doubt. NVH also increased noticeably, but nothing beyond expected.
I hope to run em at an autox event this Saturday, but I'm not sure I'll have enough mileage on them by then.. we'll see. Can't wait to really push this combo.
Here's a whole album of pics. Unfortunately the suspension wasn't fully settled, but I intend to go on a shoot with my buddy later this week to get some really nice shots.
