New wheels!

[Ugly John]

Nice wheels, but mine wandered and had a terrible feel overall on the Coopers. I gave up on the all season idea.

I haven't noticed any wandering at all. I'm still running factory alignment, so I'm sure I'll wander a bit when I reduce the toe.

I had Coopers before and loved them- especially in the rain.

I'm running a 275 square set up. They just didn't feel right, especially considering I replaced almost bald Pirellis. Glad they work for you. Did you ever weigh these new wheels?

Nope - I'll get the weights Saturday or Sunday.

John. Did you do a weight comparison vs the pp wheel? ..nice rim there by the way!

Hey - finally got the weights for you. These are all wheel plus tire...

Stock PP front - 61.1 pounds
Stock PP rear - 64.1 pounds

My new wheels - 53.3 pounds

John went with a square set up so 19x9 wheels and 255-40/19 Cooper Zeon RS3-A's. He can rotate them normally to maximize wear. It's a reasonably priced wheel and tire package for daily driving and being all-season performance tires really good for Florida Rain Storms.

I have yet to put them on our site. You can email us through our website or PM me.

I'm just happy to see them on his car, when I saw the wheels I knew they were going to pop on RR.

Tim,

I washed and waxed the new wheels before putting them back on the car in a vain attempt at making the brake dust easier to clean. I had gotten the 2014 Ford center caps thinking they would fit, but they don't. They are too wide. Any other ideas? I'd prefer to run the ponies, but if I can't find them, I'll just run the OE Wheels center caps, so no problems.

That's a noticeable weight loss, very nice!

Are they 2.5" diameter? They should fit.

Thats a good amount of unsprung weight reduction.

First glance I thought they were the new RTR wheels. Looks good man

Hey John, thanks for the weight info. Nice cut of weight when you add all four corners!
