Actually, the Falken Ziex 512's in 215/40 have a higher load rating than stock I believe.

 

I'll be honest, I am not a big fan of them. The style and color isn't for me. I have a HB so I like to get ideas of what the car will look like with other wheels on it. Something down the road for me. Even though it will be hard to pass up the very cheap S-lites someone wants to give to me.

But those are great wheels for performance and if you got a good deal on them, all the power to it. I honestly don't know what wheels would look best on the HB.

 

Just to get by I just ordered the H-Sports with the H-Sport Rear Lower Adjustables. I will see how those are and think on my coilovers until the right one comes up.

 

I think the R90's look the best, but everyone has them, and I had to be different... But who knows after it is lowered, the OZ's might grow on me, or I may just go and buy a set in Silver...

 

IMHO, they look great ... mean and purposeful.

 

Thanks Andy

 

Thanks for the information. It figures that something so distinctive would be expensive and impractical. Back to reality.

 

we are twins!

I have the exact same wheels but my car is lowered on H-Sporst springs. I'm currently running 215/45/17 Yokohama ES100s but am having rubbing problems. I trimmed the fender liner but couldn't get rid of the problem. The tires are now rubbing on the sheet metal that is unfixable without and metal cutting. I've ordered a set of Hankooks in 205/45/17 as a result, they will be in next week and will post a full report then. If you are planning on lowering the car you will have rubbing issues with your current set up. It's pretty bad for daily driving with no rear passengers, i just cringe everytime I hear the tires rub. I've concluded that this has a lot to do with the fact that the '05s have softer shocks. I'm about to order a set of Koni Adjustable Yellows as well as a result. I also have a set of OZ superleggra in 15" mounted on R compounds for the track so i'll post impressions on that set up after my first lapping day in May. Here is a pic of my car as of right now:

Here is my CR/White Cooper with 16" Siver Oz Superleggeras and Bridgstone S03s.

 

Did you have the sport package, or standard package?

 

I have decide I do not like the rims, and will just spring for the R90's. If anyone is interested I will sell the Rims for $700 plus shipping, which is what I paid for them to the seller on ebay, off auction.

 

I think they look great... I just bought some white OZ Superleggera's and they should be coming in this week. It's that 37 Off-set that's hurting us. Good luck on your new wheels, I'm wondering if I should buy your set and have 2 sets of OZ's LOL

Will our stock lug nuts work for these wheels?

 

Stock lugs do work...

 

No sport package, but on a MCS there is no difference with the sport package, only really ride change are that the sport package has the S-Lites

Here's a silver on silver pic.



Tires are 215/40/17 Kumho MX
- H&R Springs
- H-Sport tubular rear swaybar
- uncorrected rear camber

There is currently no rubbing at all.

As the camber is changed more towards 0 the risk of rubbing will increase. It's hard to say how much adjustment room is there. I doubt I could get all the way to 0, but halfway is likely.

 

Nice combo Jeff!

Do they rub a bit?

 

Supension details please? Did you have any rubbing issues?

Thanks

Amit

 

Updated the above post with the details.
