Baby got a new pair of shoes!

Ok guys....sorry the pics suck but the weather does too! I'll take some more when it clears up and I can clean it up a bit.

Bought some TSW Interlagos 20 x 8.5's with Continental ExtremeContact DW's in a 245/40/20. They're just less than an inch shorter diameter and just a tad wider than the F1's.

Haven't really been able to put them to the test but initially they seem to have just as good of traction as the F1's and a little quieter.

The big thing.....the wheel/tire combo weighs in at 46lbs!!! Thats in contrast to the stock 62lbs! That's using the same scale. They actually weigh less than I originally thought.

Here's a couple pics for now....

Looks great man!!!! very nice

 

[Crash712us]

That should knock off a couple of 10th's

 

[Unknown_Driver]

not too shabby at all!



how much did the rims alone set you back? (don't worry i won't copy you)

 

[RonPorter]

Looks great!!

Stock are 62#s????? Holy shit!!

I shaved 4#s/corner off my LGT with new (wider) wheels/tires (38#s vs 42#s), and it appeared to be at least a tenth quicker.

Wow, that looks sweet. VERY nice choice!

 

[mjhpadi]

They were 325.00 a piece.

Thanks guys!! Really appreciate the comments. I really like them. I was a little scared when I ordered them because I couldn't really visualize them on the car....but I think it was a good decision!

Lookin' good Darrell -- Hope the weather improves soon for you. It's been mostly the shyts so far this year.

That looks great, and to loose that much weight is a great thing!

ROBBIE Likes EM! Guess I should have waited, and I could have cut another 5 lbs a corner! You should notice the lighter more responsive feel with the big weight loss!

I really screwed up tonite.... Stayed in CL - Mason City and went out to a great restaurant.

Should have gone 1 1/2 hrs to the strip in Cedar Falls... as it didn't rain, and the temp at 6:30 was 59 degrees. Since I turned a 13.218 @ 104.95 when it was 91 deg there last Fri nite.... only wonder what I might have run tonite..... Next Fri it's going to be about 70. Lots of my G8 friends will be at the strip, so have to decide if I want to run the G8, or kick some Brick ASS!

Go kick some G8's ***** with your Brick, how about that? lol
Darreli : Good choice. Looking forward to seeing you getting closer to the 11's... Looks good, but I still prefer the original 20's... But 64 lbs is highly paid to be pretty...
Wish you good weather and cool also!
Cheers!

Looks great!

 

[SeanMc]

These would have looked better :theyareontome:

 

[SHOspazz92]

The car looks great.

[lowc]

love them! but IMO they look a little to small on the car(atleast in the first pic) either way the car looks bad ass

 

[thebigjimsho]

Very nice! I will be getting some Nurburgrings for the V. Very lightweight and very affordable! Rotary forging, FTW!

Looks good, but I still prefer the original 20's...

I like the factory wheel's too, just WAY too heavy. This is the first wheel I saw and really liked that was lightweight.
