nice wheels everyone! I'm starting to get some ideas on what to put on my future MCS. But since the 'sclade got some attention, I can't help but show off my current bling.

18x9 Zinetti Mystics with 255/45 Nitto Extremes (spent so much on the wheels that I couldn’t afford great tires. If I were keeping the car, I’d slap some SO-3s on that baby) I would be upset if I saw these on a Cooper or any other light, fun car. These wheels belong on heavy sedans.

17" Anthracite Team Dynamics Pro Race 1 with Kumho Ecsta Supra 712s
Saved 10.8 lbs per corner according to my bathroom scale (now 36.4 per vrs. 47.2 runflats/slites)! Looks tough with dark silver!

pamato, beauitful car and I love the stance, looks really awesome with those wheels. What kind of lowering (if any) have you done to your car? Also, would you mind sharing your tire sizes?

thanks,

amir

Sure... I guess I'm a little behind in updating my SIG....

Speedo has the following suspension components: H-Sport springs, Madness Rear Sway Bar, 16x7.5 SSR Comp Wheels, 215/45/16 Azenis Sports.

I wasn't sure I'd like the look of the 16" wheels but they add nice mass to the lower portion of the car... the ride is very much improved over the factory 17" wheels.

Thanks! They're my wonder wheel bling balancers! Can't believe the difference in performance either, replacing the runflats and s-heavies is a great mod just as we've been told.
I got them from Edge Racing. They are also available from outmotoring I think. They come in a very flat black also (might look nasty wicked on your yellow/black), but no center caps!

Here goes for your viewing pleasure. I upgraded to 17" with a little help from Alex at the tire rack.
215/45WR-17 Yokohama AVS ES100
17x7 ASA JS1 SML
Just mounted them on the green machine last night. Still getting used to them. But the ride is definitely less jarring than the runflats.

Yup just got mine with help from Alex at Tire Rack for the ES100's 215/45/17 and Joe at R-Speed with the G-Racing Seki 17x7 wheels.

Finish is HyperBlack with polished lip. Thanks guys.

Smokey, I love your rims.

BUt I don't get the "hyperblack" thing.

Are they black painted, then polished?

They look almost chrome.

Do you mind if I ask what the rims set you back?
I want to be sure I am getting a good deal.

Thanks.
