Tires are here. Weighed them both. They still have some plastics and stickers, so weight might be ~.1 or .2 less. I will try to get a more accurate weight before installing the wheels (not that anyone here cares about tire weight).

245/45/18: 24.6 lbs



275/40/18: 26.2



Still waiting on my WedsSport wheels

A bit aggressive on rear from what I could see, but nothing too bad. Still waiting for the tire shop to finish.

Yes! Psyched for you, Alfredo.



Although... kind of makes you want to paint your calipers now, doesn't it?

Nice wheel/tire combo Alfredo, what wheel specs are you running (if you posted that I must've flew right by).

Solidus

Wheel color looks nice Alfredo. BTW.... I didn't get tuned yet but I'm gonna go ahead and hit the track tonight just for something to do. As soon as it's tuned I'll be going back to see what it can really do.

lol, thanks. And yes, it does make me want to paint my calipers.

Thanks!
18x8.5 +32
18x9.5 +35

Thanks! I'm sure you will still get great times and trap speeds.

My initials thoughts on the WedsSport TC105N combined with Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

First of all, thanks to Jason @ GetYourWheels for being easily accesible and providing great customer service and of course making me a great deal for the wheels with the center caps, plus a few free extras (hubs, lug nuts, and WedsSport accessories).

Also, huge thanks to blnewt for responding to all my repetitive questions about wheel fitment and offsets.


The wheels arrived in excellent shape, no issues at all. Here are the cool WedsSport accessories:



And finally some more or less pics. I will try to get better pics in daylight. Sorry for the dirty car.

Great job! Bet you're going to love that setup. What was the weight (tires+wheels)?

alfredo24pr

I didn't get to weigh them as a whole, but the 18x8.5 wheel weighed at 16.9 lbs plus the 245/45/18 that was 24.6 lbs, so about 41.6 lbs for the fronts.

The 18x9.5 weighed 17.6 lbs plus the 275/40/18 was 26.2 lbs would be about 43.8 lbs for the rears.

That's going to really be a mod you can feel, better hang on tight for a while.
Nice #s.

OEM Rears with my snow tires is 52.5 pounds. I weighed them a few months ago, just because.

Anyway, I'm with Newt, that's a power mod you just did there, Alberto. Go dyno again. I bet you just reclaimed about 5+ whp.

And buddy... OEM ride height with flush rims looks really awkward. I think you see that now, don't you?

The road was wet, so I didn't really get a chance to push the car, but it definitely felt with more grip.

It is supposed to "free up" some HP/TQ to the wheels.
They do look a bit odd... but I'm still scared to lower the car with these roads in here..

Eibachs +koni yellows and hotchkis sways and endlinks man, a slight drop wont hurt. also corning will definetly be improved. You could even try swift springs. You could also get a front strut bar for some engine bling.

Drop the car bro. Upgrade the suspension. I feel you on the bad roads. It ain any better for me. I'm lowered on H&R springs but thinking on swapping to swift/eibach and koni struts. Sways DEFINITELY will make a difference. The strut bar vaguely helps but it looks good under the hood. Don't forget to factor in a camber kit whenever u get lowered. Gotta keep all of the meaty tires evenly on the road. Nice pickup on the wheels bro.
