Here is a sneak peek at my new wheels. If everything goes according to plan they should be installed and ready to go today. Here is what I decided to go with

O.Z. Ultraleggera 18 x 8 all around (18.5 lbs) vs the stock 24 lbs.

Dunlop Direzza DZ101 245 40 R 18

Wow, new invisible tires You just had to take off a tire to see how it looked. Too funny. Are you going put on lowering springs?

Black wheels on a yellow car is still one of my favorite color combos. I remember the first time I saw a yellow car with black wheels, it was a Porshe 911 northbound on the 605 freeway. Man, that was so many years ago, I guess it left an indelible impression.

I'm just going to have to block you and DBG --- you cost me way too much $$ --- going to have to go back to the Moders thread and start the 12 steps all over again. Great looking wheels
