Love the viper stripes; did you do them yourself? If so what was the degree of difficulty and how long did it take?

The tires are garbage. I picked them up the day before the dragon (2 flats in 1 day) and they were the only tire I could get locally so I cant wait until they are burned up
No rubbing at all.
The wheels information is listed below:
Brand MSW
Offset: 37mm Backspacing: 5.51" Bolt Pattern: 4-100
Tire Size: 205/45

I did them myself... it wasn't that bad at all.. Just make sure you put the stickers on wet.. then it's easy to move things around and when its right.. you just slide the water under it to the side.. and BAM the sticker is on..
it is do-able... make sure you have enough sticker!!
cheers

not sure
I looked the wheels up on the Konig website and they called it a Prizma lip. I just bought the car a month ago and the wheels were already on it. Kind of a odd look as far as the lip goes but I like the wheel design in general. Looking into a Einki wheels with the same design minus the color changing lip.

Just look like rainbow wheels to me

That's weird... Having had many titanium bicycles, I learned that there's a place for the material, and then there's not. Trying to make aluminum (which is being used correctly for consumer wheels) look like titanium seems a little silly to me, especially when titanium would be the last material you'd want to use for a wheel (hence you don't see too many...)

hahah yah, I don't really understand the logic either. I think it all just boils down to matching the other parts that they already have in the titanium (exhaust, lug nuts, engine)
Wheels matching Ti exhaust

I just wish there were some way to remove the coating without hurting the wheels. If I find a replacement wheel that I like I also would like something a little lighter. These things weigh a ton.

You could probably have them easily sanded down and polished by any wheel company or body shop without damaging the wheels.

light, i am not so sure, as i have yet to see the 57S Pro making any light weight wheel lists

Ti, steel (say CroMoly), Al--all alloys of course. For a given item (shape, size), steel weighs 1.0, Ti 0.5 and Al 0.33. So a Ti wheel would have to be about 2/3 the thickness of Al to weigh the same. Although a Ti wheel would cost a lot more than an Al one, it wouldn't offer any advantage over the Al wheel in strength or weight. I saw a set of those carbon fiber and Mg wheels on a Mosler--they aren't significantly lighter than a set of Mg wheels like those used on LM cars for example, but look cool. I can't imagine that a set of Ti wheels would look cool--especially since you can get Al wheels to look like anything these days.
In the end it's all material science. Al is the "best" material for consumer wheels, period.
