Body Kit Installed! Wheels just came in.

[Durdenss]

Finally got it installed, check it out. My lightweight prorace 1.2s just came in this morning (custom made, took 21 weeks to get in from the uk) and will probably be getting installed tonight. Mounting them on continental extremecontact dw's.

What lense did you use for this? Looks like a toy. Could be tilt shifted but then the bottom would be blurry too I think.

What size wheels and how much do they weigh? Or saving over stock wheels.

 

[carsNskis]

Team dynamics wheels are usually pretty light, I'd have to guess 17s? Looks awesome!

I'm not a fan of the rear bumper. I always thought it was too much. The rest of it is absolutely beautiful though!

 

[Durdenss]

The wheels: Prorace 1.2 16x7 et30, custom made so no hub-centric rings or adaptors needed, even using stock lugnuts! They are lightweight too, right at 15lbs. total package is just under 34lbs each. I ciuld have got them down to probably under 32lbs if i got pirelli p7 tires but i opted for a max performance summer, continetal extremecontact.

Llia, As for the lens, it was my taken with my wifes galaxy s5 at a loading dock. lol.

I actually like the rear, I try to keep things looking oem plus and think it still looks like it comes from the factory that way, and now the rear is close to as agressive looking as the front. Without it there is just a giant slab of nothing but bubble butt. Lol

I was just thinking the same thing. Reminds me of those videos that are shot in such as way that the traffic looks like toys in stop-motion.

This has made me begin to reconsider if 16" wheels might not be a better choice for my car. Those look dang ***y...

I love the Continental DW's awesome tires. I had them on my GTO and they kept that thing planted to the asphalt pretty good

you can get them made in 17s or 18s as well, but the 16's are quite a bit lighter. I almost went 15x8, but the tire choices are sh!t for those.

Yeah, but that chunky rubber...

Woof.

haha, yep, for some reason chunky tires tend to look good on the smaller cars, like a go-cart or something. The fiesta ST crowd was the reason I wanted the 15x8 proraces with meaty tires in the first place... this one really got me:

but their overall diameter is a lot smaller than ours, so I went with the 16x7 to even it out. Also I was worried about the 15x8's not clearing the knuckle on the front of our cars. It's tight around there and my math was only showing about 5mm of clearance with the 15x8's without worring about rubbing the fender.

Are those RWL tires in the first pictures with silver wheels? If so, what size and brand are they?

 

[Durdenss]

They are my winter tires. They are just hankook icepts with the raised letters painted white with a sharpie!

 

[suitcasejefferson]

Ok. I got into cars in the late '60s, and have always loved RWL tires. You can't find them in today's tire sizes.

 

[Durdenss]

Bf goodrich makes the radial t/a with rwl. Not the greatest tire out there though if you want performance but almost certain better than the tires of the 60's!
