New Shoes for TWISTER
TWISTER finally got some new shoes put on yesterday. Tires are Falken Ziex ZE-512 215/45ZR-17 and rims are Rota 17" SubZero silver with a polished lip. Here are a few before and after picts.








The ride is so much better on non-runflats.

Very nice. I had White Subzeros on my RSX. What size are yours? 17" And another sort of related question... Do you know if they make those in gunmetal with a ploished lip? I've looked at their site but to no avail.

Cool. Is that a local Triad shop? I got my others form GP Tire and Wheel here in Greensboro about 3 years ago and was thinking about going back over there.

Have to comment - the springs are so stiff that after you let the car down, it sits real high until it settles. Looks kinda funny riding that high.


Nice wheels!

I probably should add mine are 18" and Steel Gray with a polished lip, I ordered Gunmetal but they came in the wrong color, oh well.

Good to know
Thanks, good to know. Might have to get me some. Can they handle some BBK like Wilwoods or Stoptech?
