    Wheel Questions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Thinking about getting a set of HRE FF01's for my S7. What do you guys recommend to protect the wheels before I mount them? Is there some type of coating that can be applied? I thought I read somewhere about a "plasticoat" dip. Is there such a thing? What about "Opticoat"?, Or is that the same thing?

    Also, debating between a stock 20x9 and the 20x10.5 sizes. Pros and cons of each? I know I have to go with a larger tire with the 20x10.5, how will this affect the ride and look?

    Thanks!

    PS: The Wheel Boutique has the new Michelin PS4S's in stock.

    Opticoat or Sonax either one will do a great job. Go for the 20x 10.5 will give you a meatier look. As far as ride quality, I ran the Conti Posiquiet (I might be off on that name) on my 21x9.5 set up and the ride was quiet and not much different than stock.
