Joker, I don't think I have seen a pic of your car yet. I know we have alot of similiar tastes in styling, and you're also into the "euro" look. You got a pic you can post up?

I just put on some 17x7 5zigen Fn01r-c wheels with 215/45-17 Toyo Proxes 4 tires on my 04 MCS.





Initial impression is very good. They ride a helluva lot better than the runflats! And I can use one of the runflats for a spare if I need one.

Very sharp. How much do these weigh? Do they hide the brake dust?

Ro_Ja LT5's in Bronze

Nice, are these comparable to the Rota subzero wheels?

No, the Ro_Ja's have a much different shape than the CP-035 (I wonder if anyone even remembers that this is the wheel Rota knocked-off for the Subzero
)

To answer your questions... 22 lbs. per wheel. They hide the brake dust well but the shiny inner lip seems to get dirty quickly.

Would have posted this sooner, but have been having connectivity issues...

Here's Murray with new Kumho Ecsta SPTs in 205/50ZR16 on 16"x7" Konig Holes in Graphite:




I've got about 500 miles on the Kumhos, and the ride is just SO much nicer! Haven't had much time for twisties yet, but initial impressions are that they at least don't give away any grip from the stock 17" Dunlop SP9000 performance runflats...

Will report later after additional twisty miles...

I've been trying to hold my tongue, but I can't do it any longer.

Joker and the rest... isn't this supposed to be a picture thread or did I walk into an AOL chat room by mistake? There's three whole pictures on this page and the rest is just BS comments. Yes, I'm just an uptight jerk, but I seriously wish a moderator would help keep this thread clean so you wouldn't have to scroll through 50 pages of junk to see what you came here for --- THE PICTURES.

The PM feature exists for a reason...


Here's a picture of some 17" OZ Superleggeras to stay on-topic.
- 215/40/17 tires
- H&R springs

and I wish I was a moderator, would kick you out just because Seriously, you have a point, but you can not stop people making comments, but we need to keep these comments within the topic.

The rotor looks rusty. But seriously nice wheels.. what's the offset? All the OZ I've come across has been aroud et38.. not sure if that's too far out to be good for the hubs.

The rotors typically get a thin glaze of oxidation while drying after a wash.:smile:

It comes right off when you apply the brakes for the first time.
