I used to have a set of those for my track wheels on my old turbo 240sx. They're fantastic rims!

Here are pictures of the new tires and 5Zigens. They look fantastic in person. Steering is really really light now in comparison.

The best part about the "Face Polished" version is that they will look fantastic regardless of brake dust. I hate the OEM wheels because of how many crevices you have to clean. Lots of surface area to scrub down a couple times a week. Thanks, but no thanks!

blender... awesome decision getting lighter wheels... how does the car feel afterwards?

Right now they new rubber feels pretty squishy. They just need to see some heat cycles to calm down a bit. Overall the steering is much lighter and more lively. Like I said, I think some of that liveliness will subside once the rubber breaks in a bit.

They're gorgeous wheels though. I'd been looking for months on something that was light enough, looked fantastic, and wasn't $600 a wheel.

i'm not a HUGE fan of anything remotely resembling chrome, but i have to say that the tsw's have some appeal.

and blendercloud, i truly dig the ziegens. props!

Thanks a lot! I'm getting a little bit of outside rubbing in the front under very hard (autocross) cornering. I'll probably look to roll the fenders soon. I may do a how-to on fender rolling for folks who've never done it before.
