Pepper got new wheels and tires...and more.
#1
I installed new wheels and tires today. For summer and the track I will be using my new Flik Wasp wheels and Yoko AVS ES 100 tires. Stock tires are 205's, I upsized to 215/45-17. The wheels and the tires saved me several pounds "a corner" over the stock wheels and all-season tires. It's a good thing to remove rolling mass!
I also installed a Schroth Harness. It can be easily clipped in and out for daily driving. Don't see the wife using it much to get groceries.

Nice wheels and tires, Brad. Pepper's starting to get some attitude to go along with the pulley and Alta intake, I see. I know I'm going to replace my runflats with EVS-100s after they wear down a bit more. Your upgrade will be great for the track, I'm interested in how they "feel" in everyday driving compared to the stock set-up.

Thanks for the compliments, everybody. The wheels are Flik Wasps. They weigh 18.25lbs on my scale. I got them from Edge Racing.
I had them mounted with the Yoko ES 100's and also bought Toyo Proxes 4's for my Audi S4. They gave me a great package deal price.
The only downside is that my chrome lug nuts are on backorder.

>>Brad, You got one hell of a deal. Is there a name on it or do you know who makes it. I want one bad.

My lift is made by
Eagle Lifts. Brand new they are about $1500 but they can be found used for around a grand.
There is a remote electric hydraulic pump that fits under my workbench. You hold a switch to make it rise and flip a lever to lower it. It has three safety stops at different levels. It goes up about 3 feet which is great fo any undercar work, wheel changing, brake work, etc. It's extremely low. Even my lowered Carrera can fit over it.
