I'll take some day pics tomorrow (weather permitting :p)

didn't get the weight of each wheel, but i weighed them w/ the tires while i was mounting them.. the stocks came in @ 51lbs and the Thruxtons came in @ 49lbs.. dunno if that answers some of your initial questions...

 

i luv those wheels cause of the rear lips
only bad thing for me is they didnt make them in silver when i was looking for wheels last yr.

 

Here's a close up of the rear..

 

Very nice.

 

How does it handle/ride/brake having staggered wheels setup? I planning to get the same tires size setup (225F/245R). BTW what is the offset of those wheel?

 

Berry berry nice Flip! Me likes lot.

 

dude
your car is on FIRE

looks sweet
really like it

 

Mikeb, I'm beginning to think that we've got a new VR king.
You'd better step it up.

 

Thanks for the compliment.. but i think i'm still quite far to pass up mikeb maybe someday... He's just letting everyone else try and catch up! :D

 

Nice. That first pic is sick. All you need is good lighting...

 

NICE. It kinda looks like a HotWheels toy car....I mean that in a good way. What 'burb are you in? I have family in Oak Park.

 

I think you are right

it is pretty close


great looking car flip

 

Took some day pics.. although its cloudy here in Chicago...again

 

They look great flipstream.
What are the offsets in the front and rear?? Do they rub at all?

 

No rubbing.. offsets are 40mm front & back

 

the grey trim from the real ms kit matches those wheels PERFECT

really nice

 

^^^Ya, what he said.
I never really cared for dark wheels on anything other than blk or gry, but I'm now convinced. Good choice.

 

those look soo sexy!

 

I love that deep dish look.

 

Those are some nice shoes!

 

Daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, those look great! :D

Flip, could you do me a favor? I'm seriously considering these wheels (or the TSW Volcanos) but looking at the daylight pics (especially the 5th one), it looks like the wheels "protrude" beyond the body work in front by a fair bit. Is this the case?

Could you take a pic flush with the side of the car with the front wheels straight so I could see how much, if any, they do protrude? Thanks....

 

Those look sweet!! I'm set to get new rims in the spring when the winter tires (and now wheels) come off. I'm still torn on the color that would look best on the black 8. Gunmetal, hyperblack, black and silver. Your pics make me lean toward the hyperblack...

Where did you pick those up? Are they reasonably priced? If you go to TSW's website there is little info on price and the only dealers they list are discount tire shops.

 

TSW wheels are very reasonably priced. Check out this site for prices.

 

They don't stick out.. the fronts are 18x8.. tires are same size as stock... here's a pic i have for now.. if you want a different angle, i'll take some tomorrow
