VERY NICE!

I wasnt a huge fan of those wheels until now. They look great on your ride!

 

[john blutarski]

thanks man

Looks sweet, are they pretty light? I'm thinking about going with the RPM2's myself at 18.9lbs.

 

[john blutarski]

Yeah, they're about 6-7 pounds lighter than stock. I weighed them at 43.7 pounds. The rims supposedly are 19.5 which puts the Azenis at 24.2. Not bad for such a big tire.

 

[wisniaPl]

Nice choice of tires man, I'm going with the Falkens to,but not the azenis, but the Ziex ZE-912, which is all season. I wanted to know how u like the azenis because there only 40 bucks more a pop so, how do these compare to the stock potenzas and are you handeling better. Thanks!

They corner and grip better hands down than the stock Potenzas and the stockers really aren't that bad of a tire. If you're going for all season tires be prepared to lose some grip over the stock Potenzas. I highly recommend the Azenis but if you can't afford to run separate winter and summer tires than don't do it.

Well it realy doesnt snow that much down here but there was 2 days it snowed last year an I attempted to drive you know cuz I didnt feel like buying tires for just month. Wow my tcps was going bonkers, an I wasnt moving so i decided to walk in the snow and let people drive by in puddles and hit me with below freezing water.....no I had to drive my gf's golf and I just sliding around in close parking lots. I will also get the azenis, I guess if they are better. Now why did u got with 40 as apposed to 45 or do you just like the low profile look., but congrts your car looks awsome

40 sidewall is only short or tall in relation to the width... Let me try to explain. The sidewall on a 235/40/18 is taller than a 225/40/18 sidewall and is very close to the same height as the stock 215/45/18 sidewall.

Thanks for the compliment.

because 40% of 235 is closer to 45% of 215 diameter wise.

I thought I posted the tire calculator for you in another link.

The reason to go with 235/40/18 is that it is closer to the height of the stock 215/45/18 package than 225/45/18 or 225/40/18.

 

[ElSpeedDiablo]

So, I think I will go with the same rubber as you, are you rubbing at all?

Nope

how does it feel shaving off that rotating weight off? getting some 20lb rota's soon hoping it feels a whole lot better then the 24lb stockers
