how to lose 50 lbs in one day

take off those runflats and s-lites and let randy (such a helpful guy) at m7 set you up with ultralight ro_ja lt5 wheels (14 1/2 lbs). add some 215x45x17 goodyear f1's and top it off with a tuner lug conversion from steve's autoclinic. my personal touch was the black plastic plugs. you can sure feel the difference!

They look great.I just got the same wheels in white from Randy and I'm still picking out tires. I can't wait to get them on the car. Was the tuner lug conversion a must or will the factory lug bolts work too?

mini monkey (cool name) your stock lugs will work fine. i used mine for a week, but wanted the more aggresive look of the lugs. you're going to love those wheels.
