I have some...sitting in the corner lol. Had the tires for a few weeks but the wheels had to be ordered. Hopefully i'll have time this weekend to have them mounted. Should i order TMPS sensors or do most tire shops carry these since so many cars use em? Never actually changed rims on a car that had them is why i ask.bpd1151 said:Actually looks really sharp.
Compliments the exterior paint scheme rather nicely.k:
Now get some rubber on it!

I had a bear of a time with my TPMS sensors when I purchased my after market (TSW) rims/tires.
Mine was that weird transition year where FMC was switching over from the banded style (which I have) versus the valve stem sensors.
So I spent an astronomical amount of money to purchase OEM banded style sensors.
The other monkey in the wrench, is that to program the sensors, most tire shops (at least at that time) did NOT have the proper programming device.
So I would defer to w/e vendor it is that will be mounting/balancing them, and yield to what they suggest.

Will do on the sensors.
The meat is going to be the Michelin Pilot Super Sports 255/45/20 this is going to be an inch shorter then stock tires 255/50/20 so i'll have to get my tune adjusted for them as well.

When I spoke to LMS, they told me there will be a new setting on the updated xv1 tune.
I think they are updating the mycal software. Because he said when I get my xv1 tune, I will be able to pick my wheel size in the programmer...

These are advanti racing PO Prodigo 20x8.5 45mm offset weight 30lbs.BigPelo said:
However, i am returning them. The reason is the weight, i asked the seller to confirm weight with the maker and once he got them but they do not weight the 27lbs he told me.
SO, i'm returning them and getting TSW Interlagos in 20x8.5 40mm offset suppose to weigh 23.25lbs getting them in the silver with machine face finish.
Nearly 7lbs lighter then the advanti wheels. They cost more but that was never an issue.
good call. It is a stronger wheel as well. Also, by being a full-face wheel, you can install wheel weights closer to the lip area, which means the balance will be easier to get right, and more accurate.
The Nurburgring can also be made in 22", still weighs right about 30 lbs.
another light weight is the Giovanna RL series of wheels. Awesome options there too, in 22 or just 20".

I have Interlagos for my Brick - Polished face -18" x 9". Currently have my other 18" on (ASA- AR2). Nice thing about the Interlagos is they are easy to clean! ASA's have dish and mesh look and can be a PITA.
Yes, mesh wheels (especially these 3 piece, which means each section needs different care to clean) are incredibly difficult to clean.
When I see splotches of brake dust, I roll my eyes to think, "here we go again."
Still not sure I'd trade them for a different wheel, they are a PITA but mesh wheels are gorgeous on the right car (ours.)

Yeah I can imagine those are tough for keeping clean but they look so good.
About the winter tires I really don't need them. I live in Louisiana so winter here is like two months at 30-45 degrees at night and 50 during the day lol.
If I do end up having issues I'll just put the stockers back on for a month if need be, they only have like 1300 miles on em I believe.
Also I opened a package late last night and discovered my duel e-cutouts had come in. So I'll have to install those soon enough. Doug's cutouts at 2.5" each. I'll put them in right after my magnaflow x-pipe and eventually I'll get the down pipes once they are for sale....hurry up Livernois, lol.

New wheels finally arrived. Bad thing is other then getting tires mounted they won't go on the exploder til after Christmas week. I'm going to a state that has a real winter and very likely some snow so i can't run a summer tire. Will have to make the trip on the stockers then swap em out once i come back. Here are a couple teaser pics though.
Also put em on a scale, 20" rim with 40mm offset weghs in at 23.2lbs. Will end up saving 17.5lbs over the stock combo per wheel for a total of 70lbs of rotating mass.
