[QUOTE=Slick;838065]Quick pic with new wheels on.


Awesome Andre. Seems many of our cars are coming out of hibernation or newbies on the road. Saw a Blue BRZ followed by a firestorm FRS this morning. Made me look bad, their cars were washed and gleaming, mine not so much.

Damn that's looking sexy Andre!

I'm pulling my car out Thursday although I'm a bit leery since I took my bike out Tuesday and it instantly started to snow!

Mine's not so clean either, that's why the pics is a bit farther away. I think I spent more time waxing the wheels before mounting than it took to actually put them on.

That's quite the nice storage option you have. Pretty clean and dry. Take it out!

18x8 +45 TSW Interlagos silver w/ machined faces with Falken ZE512 225/40-18 - nothing too sticky/low wear for me as 99% will be street - 1% might be time at Calabogie or something...

Love those wheels, one of my faves for the FRS.

Only 17's but they will do for now.

Yes, including sensors that have to be initialized.

Those look great! what are the specs?

I opted for 17s too. an 18 inch wheel that is lighter than stock might not be better for performance as there is more mass around the out side circumferance than a 17 wheel. the further out the weight is the worse for performance

I booked an optional today...already scheming a nice twisty route.

I got my ecutek cable and dongle today, just waiting for Visconti to process my ticket so I can get the tunes. I imagine ill have the ECU flashed sometime tomorrow. Then I have a full tank to burn before I can fill up with E85.

Also my rims arrive in ogdensburg on Friday. Ill prob pick them up Saturday and mount them at my buddies shop on Sunday. Hopefully he won't mind unlocking his doors and letting me use a lift and the tire machine.

Next up will be GC coil over sleeves. But that won't be for a while - unless I come across some extra money.

so if i buy john's license + tune package, you'd be nice enough to share the cable, right? I'd buy a couple pints of course!

hehe

If so, are you getting the dealer to reprogram the ECU for the new sensor IDs or reprogramming using an ATEQ?

I was going to pull the sensors from my OEM wheels and move them, but didn't end up bothering with it. Light has not come on yet....
