got new shoes!
just slapped on 19" sportec mono/10s, made by BBS. man i LOVE the look of these wheels. ball burnished finish.
i definitley feel a quicker turn in but the amazing thing is that they are more comfortable than my previous 18s.
call me crazy but i guess the conti sc2 were soooooo harsh that it made these new dunlop sp9000 more comfy, more quite too.
the rear 275/30x19 are noticably narrower than the conti 265/35x19. compared
to the front tires,does the rear mounting look right to you? the rears don't seat on the rim the
same as the fronts. looks like i should have gone with 295s instead.
one last thing, what tire pressures do you recommend?
next thing, gt3 bumper or ruf or caractere....

Always loved how the Sportec's look. For tire pressure, use the stock 36/44 guidline. With 19" wheels and tires, there's much less sidwall so under-inflating could cause bent rims or worse.

Wow - I love those wheels. A very classy look. I agree with you - I think wider tires in the rear would fit better.
Where did you get the wheels? and how much?
