Looking good. Love the r32. Do u ever get to drive that?

I'm not a black wheel lover... I think your car looks better with a diamond cut face wheel or something shiny. Your previous wheels had the tyre edge polished and the red cap that gave them that wow factor.

Yeah luckily I'm on the trade policy so can drive all the cars, its great in tunnels and when its warm enough to have the windows down (its straight pipes all through) but I really miss the midrange punch and the surge from the turbo in mine.

I liked the way the black BBS SX fit your mother's Deep Blue Pearl R32 more than I expected. I love that colour for R's.

Yeah the Mercedes wheels are definitely a better looking wheel with the rim and centre cap, also I love the way 19's sit but I'm surprised how much I like these actually. I know black wheels often lose some of the shape and design which can be annoyig but these have a more purposeful look rather than a more show finish like the merc wheels. Also the car drives noticeably better on the TD's. I'm keeping both sets hopefully so can just change depending on what I'm doing

The TD's weight 9 kg, what's the weight of the Merc's? My 17'' Omanyt wheels weight 12 kg and I noticed a nice difference with the OZ Ultras when I had them in my GT Sport.

@Shoduchi I can't remember exactly but I think they were 21.5kg on the front and 22.5kg back with tyres. So probably about 12.5kg each on average.

Once you're used to light wheels I don't think you'll want to use the heavier much.

Hahaha, I think you might be right

I like the mk7 steering wheel.
