A little somethin'-somethin' came in today...

[ChriS4]

18x8, +35, full-forged
...oh yeah, 17lbs each.

[Rapter]

Sorry dude, but IMO your current wheels are WAY hotter than those. Did you switch just because of the weight difference? Either way congrats on your new wheels I'm also waiting on new wheels to come in.

[sweed]

throw them on and post pics!
looks nice!

[dannyn424]

looks ricerriffic!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rated S]

looks ricerriffic!!!!!!!!!!!

To me 19" chrome lipped blacked center oz supers look a lot more ricer then enkies.

Nice wheels chris, you put my 18" OEM wheels to shame in weight.

I apologize. I value function over form. In rolling mass, I've saved over 120lbs, almost 130lbs, from my car.

Thank you? I came from the Honda scene, so I learned a lot about the functionality of equipment, and I'm not concerned with looks only, as is most of the Euro scene apparently.

I'm going in a new direction with the car... Most will probably hate it, but it will be functional, and in many ways, a lot more "baller" than most cars on here...

Kevlar buckets are next...

jeez, what wheels did you have before?

[Jung]

how've you saved that much in that department? these rims, suspension, brakes?
btw i like them, i like function over form also

[SilverSurferS4]

nice wheels, cant wait to see some pics of them mounted..

[ChriS4]

how've you saved that much in that department?

OZs = 25lbs
Enkeis = 17lbs
Difference = 8lbs

x 4 wheels = 32lbs
x ~4 (rolling mass/stopping resistance)
= ~128lbs


Math aside, it basically means my car will be noticeably faster, with just this weight reduction.

[dannyn424]

my last car was a spec v :) I really love enkeis in my heart... i was j/k

[Das General]

awesome wheels man!

where did you pick them up?

[Jung]

yeah... i think like the reference is, for every 100lbs lost, its like .1 quicker in the quarter.. and this will handle a lot better too.

[ChriS4]

From a local import tuner shop called Pann Auto. My buddy's good friends with some of their guys so I got them for cheaper than the tires are gonna cost me...

coming from a guy with a tip.....

[BurnAll4S4]

hey copycat whats up! lol j/k.

[ChriS4]

You sir, are correct.
I already noticed a difference just putting stocks on compared to the boat anchors I had on before. These are still considerably lighter than OEM cast wheels.

[ChriS4]

hey copycat whats up! lol j/k.

Damn you!! lol

Looks like I've gotta get these powdercoated now... Either white or magnesium blue metallic off the Volk line...

[dannyn424]

You're entitled to your opinion.

In the end, your car... hah, nevermind...

Take your personal matters to PM please.

"Math aside, it basically means my car will be noticeably faster, with just this weight reduction".

Everbody seems to believe this, but I have yet to see definitive and quantitative proof. I was about to buy a set of lightweight wheels, but the more I searched, the more I was convinced that though the gains are positive, they are also negligible.

One of my best friends is a professional driver, instructor, and tracks his car too. He's noted differences everywhere from handling to acceleration to braking when switching wheels (same tire).

[S4alan]

Chris,

I myself like the boat anchors. I just need to roll the front fenders bad!!!

[AMC]

they look good in person, congrats on the purchase dude!

[BastardS4]

dammit, another guy copying me.

You're rubbing???? Hmm... My car's lower than yours I think, and all my rubbing went away when I lifted it the 1/2".

[ChriS4]

dammit, another guy copying me.

If it makes you feel any better, I have no idea who you are or what your car looks like

[BastardS4]

got the same wheels.

btw they dont fit a lot of BBKs so be careful.

[ChriS4]

Thanks for the heads up.

I dont have a BBK and probably won't for a while, but if it comes down to that, I'll probably get the 18x9s and do some fender work.

[Tallbino]

Great choice! I want those wheels so bad!

[OWENthatsmyname]

nice wheels. def a weight saver.

ha powdercoat them magnesium blue

[audiwop]

They will make a big diff. I put light weight wheels on my car and felt a huge difference on turn in and responsiveness. I like the direction you are headed. Throw the buckets in and keep shedding the pounds. I've never understood why people go out spending buckets of money on performance mods and then throw on lead weights for wheels. Good choice and have fun with them

Word. I think the buckets weigh like 13 or 14lbs too, compared to the huge heated, and fully adjustable stock ones.

Just a teaser...

You will love the buckets, i put a sparco evo2 bucket in mine and I could never go back to the stock seats. Big weight savings and makes going around corners fun again not sliding all over the place.

[ChriS4]

Yeah, I'm surprised the OEM sport seats are just branded in alcantara, not an actual sportier seat.
