...I FINALLY get my wheels project finished. 16" Konig 5 spoke with 205/50 Yokohama ES 100's
They make the car look so much cleaner not to mention faster. With the height
being an inch larger, it now looks like a lowering is imminent.
For a feel of the new tires, quite notable! When going from a smaller sidewall, you
are going to get a more firm ride but this is still nice (not harsh). I think they might
have a little less road noise than my Eagle HP's, but those were crappy tires. Now
road hold is a different story - on a 270 off-ramp, i was able to clear it in much
less time than usual.
I had to use a spacer of course, due to the fact rims are hard as hell to find for
this car. (damn lug pattern and offset combo) 10mm put the wheel nicely in the
center.
btw, now i have to drive it to my parents house and leave it at the shop for god
knows how long. I will be starting my tranny swap!!!! not to mention i have M3
springs i will try out and figure i might as well buy new brake lines, pads, and
maybe a new exhaust. I will keep you updated. (pics are always good)
