Guys,

The wheels are beautiful in Gunmetal, PERIOD! There isn't a lot a real estate/material left to be removed, if any!!!!! (Darren at Forgeline was great to work with) Seriously, they are stunning examples of craftsmanship! I did an initial quick weight on the bathroom scales and they are ruffly 10#'s lighter than the factory setup based on some other forum members statements about weights. However I did not weigh them against the factory wheels and tires, and I'm going to pass that along to 8250RPM, as his tires and wheels should be arriving this week, or early next. I am sure he will give a more meaningful breakdown/weight comparison ;)

The RE-71R's are sticky for sure and are the tire of choice for autocrossing currently. The biggest I could get until Fall was 285/35-19, yet there is plenty of tire, IMHO.

Just upload to imgur, they give you copy and paste links with bbcode for forum use.

Instead of clicking the "Post quick reply" button click on the "Go Advanced" Button, Look for the paperclip icon next to the white smiley face, It will allow you to post up to 10 attachments at a time

Thanks Bruce, I'll post my weights and the stock weights once I receive my wheels and tires. Should be any day now. Yours look great!!
