well today was top down weather!
BTW I weighed the rims and tires on a scale, fronts came in about 42lbs, rears about 44 lbs
**** man I still have some list:
paint windshield cowl metal trim
install new AC condensor
have ac lines fabbed up
get ac charged
change wolf to newer wolf, get car tuned again
change seats
change carpet/maybe door panels? I have black s5 door panels too
smoke/clearcoat tailights
possibly change head unit again
possibly change trunk mounted battery to smaller powermaster battery

see the yellow dot on the rear tire...
that dot is a low point.. less mass.. what have you.. on the tire as tires will never ever be uniform
the tire guy is supposed to align the dot with the stem to offset the difference in weight..
this equates to less weights used and placed on the wheel...

DAMN!!!!! I always wondered what that yellow dot / red dot was for. You learn something new everyday.
Rob: You car is amazing.

I used to have 275s on a 7.5" wheel, but they had monster sidewalls, 15" rim no less!
thanks man, so far I like this picture the best, but you must expand it to full screen

really like the wheels, they look awesome.
what kinda suspension are you on? it would look cooler if it came down in the front just a tad. like maybe 1/2" or something. in the rear the camber goes negative when you lower it so it tucks, in the front you can put some camber plates on it, and angling the top of the tire in a little aims the tire away from the fender.
i also think i'd paint the RB cans, should you be able to see them in the wheel well?

you pretty much never get a angle like that in the real world, I had the camera on a milk crate taking the picture so it would come out steady, but I would never paint stainless RB cans either way!
I think the front will come down once the car rolls because right now it is not sitting right, I can tell that just by looking at it from the side, right now the top of the wheel is angled in, but I have not rolled the car not even a inch since putting the wheels on. Next week I am going to roll the car outside and take a picture. Im also thinking of taking it back to the alighment shop now that the new wheels and tires are on just to make sure nothing changed, meanwhile I have like 50 miles on the current alighment
The front also looks high because there is no front bumper and no front lip, for suspension I have Racing Beat coupe springs and KYB AGXs.
I got say at first I did not know if I was going to like the larger rim, but after looking at the car a few more times I love it.
