My new Motegi shoes are on now...

FF5's w/ Yoko AVS, to replace the 17" S-Lites w/ runflats. These did the job down at Pueblo Motorsports Park...like the OEM stuff could not. They call these black but they are really a very light gunmetal...to blend the black and silver colors.

Very pleased.

Glad you like the TZ-10's Sndwave, they look just as great on BluMene as they did on MM2!

Montegi Trak Lites

Finally got the new tires and wheels.:smile:

MONTEGI TRAK LITES, weighing in at 14#, Forged Gunmetal, 17x7. They are deliciously wrapped in 215/40/17 YOKOHAMA ES100s.

So happy to lose the pirelli "run-bricks" with the "S- Heavies"

nice wheels. Where did you buy them at? I was looking at summit racing and they have them...I think they were about $300 each w/o tires.

I picked them up at a place called http://www.bigbeartire.com/ about 30 min from me...$199 a piece...the cheapest I'd seen anywhere.. .they had more in stock too. I almost went with flat black, but I'm happy I went w/ the gunmetal.

Was also close to doing 15" with Falken Azenis 205/50/15 total package w/ mount balance etc. $999, just for the performance factor of 15" and Azenis.

Overall, glad i went with what i got 17" just looks better IMO. Thanks for the compliments. Now I need to lower and get some big brakes to fill up that space.:smile:

Wow, that's a nice price and they look good too.:smile: I had been looking at 16's for additional performance but decided that that my Koseis are good enough. I know what you mean about big spaces. The tce or rl kits look attractive.
