Sparco Assetto Gara + continental DW - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Tribrz · 07-28-2012, 11:16 PM

Just got my wheels, A set of Sparco Assetto Gara Matte Graphite silver,
17X7.5 48mm offset, with Continental Extreme Contact DW 215-45-17. I feel there is much more grip than stock, steering response is about the same.

These wheels look a lot better in the graphite silver!

How are you likin the continental DW's?

Too early to have a good idea but cornering has improved over stock. I can't wait to try them in the rain, I heard it was really good. A bit noisier on the road and you can feel it more also. Overall very satisfied for now. Just got them for two days. Will review it after more mileage.

Given the looks / weight / price these wheels are very good!

These wheels look very nice IMO. Affordable, as well.

Nice combo, I would like to do the same,

Could you please post more pictures?

What about the weight?

Tribrz · 04-29-2013, 11:15 PM

Sorry Teo for the late response, I haven't been on this forum for months. The weight saving is around one pound on each wheel overall. No real difference. I've been using these wheels on a track and they handle above expectation and not much wear. I will try to take more pictures soon.
