1. The stock 18's are about 1.5 feet closer to the camera so that helps make them look larger than they actually are.

2. The finish is "Silver" but the lips are polished and clear coated. The front lip is ~3" and the rear lip is ~5".

3. The PIAA's were weighed before installation and the stock wheels were also weighed (with 10,600 miles on them). There was a 2.5 lb difference between the stock 18's (fronts) and the PIAA (fronts) and there was a 6.0 lb difference between the stock 18's (rear) and the PIAA (rear). The PIAA's being heavier...

HOWEVER, the stock 18 fronts are 225/45/18 and the rears are 245/45/18 and due to excessive tread wear the stock fronts were 0.5 lb HEAVIER than the larger stock rear tires. My best guess is the stock rims with new Pilot Sports would be about 0.5 lb heavier in the front and the stock rears would be about 1.5 lbs heavier. This would make the 17 lb weight difference closer to 13 lbs.

4. I agree that the car looks and feels TOTALY DIFFERENT.

I'm stoked and cannot wait for the drop!!! [img]/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/img]

 

work on them legs..

haha..jk...nice wheels

 

At first glance I thought the stocks were 17's. Look at the difference in tire height. In other words the 19's make the 18's look like 17's. Looks great.

 

Congrats Neff!! They look great! So how's the ride? Much stiffer? Where did you buy them from?

The ride is a bit stiffer due to me running 37psi all around. I don't want to bend a rim and cannot find anyone (including Toyo) who will give me a definite air pressure to run in this setup...

I bought the wheels from Racing Zone in Orlando FL. They are the SE distributor for VOLK and RH wheels, and they can get any wheel under the sun. I spoke with Brian and he was extremely helpful. They will be installing my springs as well. Their number is 407-273-0099 if you want to call them.

Make you make me want new wheels now LOL, this is horrible!! It will handle and look so much better with a drop, cant wait to see it!!

Congrats! Neff.

They look great. Now you're rep'ing the east and I'm rep'ing the west (with G4S, of course). Man they look nice...I knew they would. As far as tire pressure goes...I went with 40psi all around and I'm happy.

Be sure to get an alignment...trust me! Next, Tein Flex!

im not a fan of too many rims.... especially ones that arent in a certain category (fat 5's) or some skinnier 5 spokes.... i dont even like te37's and gt7s and stuff that much on a coupe. I for some reason like those rims a lot that you got. They look great..... i have to say.... that is not a wheel htat if you verball described it that i would think i would like.... but MAN they are sexy as hell. DEfinatly need like ~1 inch drop to complete the look (although it does look much much better than stock already with those wheels). Im pretty much set on getting wheels and then getting tein basics with the money i get from selling my stocks
