That's all. Real easy to do. Pictures: I'm really excited about these. Best time so far is in sig (1.9 60, 12.7 @ 109). These should hook up well and best my time, even though it'll be warm on Sunday. Wish me luck! Padre

Nice man. Its funny I just researched and ordered a very similar package, same wheels just bright face. I have the same wheels in the back 18x9.5 w/ +40mm offset, I do have the NT05`s out back though vs 555r`s, I have a Whipple so kinda need sticky as I can get them. On the front I went w/ 19x8 w/ a +35mm offset to clear the stick on weights or scates, I have the weights. Tire is the same as the stock size 19 inch tire on the v6 up front, 245/50r19 pirelli`s, a lot more tire options in that size as well, are not a special order and are less expensive. Kinda scares me that the only 18 inch in 265/50r18 I could find was a special order nitto when they need replacing. Tires get discontinued all the time. Regardless they look great and I bet they hook great!!!
Hopefully looking at a larger rim up front vs the back just 1 size diff I won`t notice it. I don`t notice it on my vette it has 18 up front and 19 out back.

Looking at the pictures makes me glad I bought some BMR 1" lowering springs. Plenty of room and I think it will really add to the look. They'll go on in the next couple of weeks. I've got more mods waiting to go on, but I'm holding back so I can see what each group of mods does at the track. Been fun so far. Padre |

OK, the long and short of it: 84*F, not a great day for good times. 12.986 @ 107.51, sixty-1.964. 107.xx traps on all 7 time slips.
Good thing: the Nittos hooked each and every time (1.9 sixties all day). They were almost saying to me, "ho hum". Even with a brake-stall, no improvement simply because I do not have enough power to propel it to more than a 1.9 (on a hot day). Everybody at the track digged the wheels, though. So, I'm thinking this combo will really shine when I get the gears (3.45's) and the torque converter (2800 ProTorque, been waiting 6 weeks from Jannetty). But any day racing is a good day. More videos in my journal. Sneak peak: an 11-second Panamera vs. a twin-turbo Z06; and my buddy's GT500 taking down the Panamera. And a video of me. Padre |

If your brake pads look like this, replace them with some good aftermarket pads.
