- how's the exige doing?

My Exige is sleeping into the garage clean like a car at the dealer's showroom.

Especially this summer with the arrival of the FR-S and also because I bought a CBR600RR 2007.

I took the Exige about 6-7 time only since may. I've put about 600KM on it.

The car dont even have 10 000KM yet and it is my 6th summer.

It has never see rain.

I'll make a collection car out of it I guess.

Here is a cool link video I did last year :

Well my old DD Elise is showroom clean and 75,000+miles! Had to get the FR-S for my lower back lol

I definitely like the profile of the 9.5's better but I really like their Hyper Black finish.

When you get your new center caps (now this is just me being OCD) I would line up the bottom of the TRD portion with two lugs on all the wheels. Will make it look a bit better IMHO...

See how they are canted just a bit? Like I said, probably just me being OCD, but it looks better when they line up with the spokes and lugs.

I havent seen that before. Now that you pointed this to me, you are right. It make sense. Thank You for your advice.

I have another good reason now to place a new order for the center cap again.

nice wheel choice, i have the same in white

Thanks for all the pictures and updates to this thread. These wheels are on the short list for going on my FRS.

I've found one reference to weight. Says 20 lbs. Wish they were lighter. I'm questioning a couple places I'm pricing them but wondering about the TPMS sensors. Will the stock ones transfer over?

EDIT: From the pictures it looks like TPMS sensors in them.

Looks good! Both of your cars are sexy

You ever bigger spacers? Also how is the handling with a wider wheel? I want to retain over-steer..

At first I did go with 3mm spacer but it was not enough.

I'm now using 5mm spacers for the back and it is perfect.

I did not see any change when driving the car better or worse then before.

NoFear99 · 02-09-2013, 03:45 PM

Perfect!

In fact, at this moment I can tell you I appreciate my FR-S as much as the Lotus.

The FR-S is not a powerful car but still very fun to drive and confortable. The FR-S is absolutely nice to look at it with all the curves and the lines in the body. It is a very modern car that look like a 50K car for the half of this price.

When I'm in need of more power I drive my Lotus during the week-end.
