How heavy are those rims? Thanks.

 

The front where about 19lbs and the rears are about 20lbs. A little bit lighter than HRE's with the same specs since these are 2 piece instead of a 3 peice wheel. True they are heavier than stock especially after you add on the extra rubber (225 for the front and 265 for the rear). I would not recommend these wheels if you are going to be racing (track or street). You won't be as quick. The diameter of the tires are also .5 of an inch taller. The weight may be shocking but you have to understand there is just more wheel now. What was a 7.5 inch rear rim is now a 10 inches. But the extra rubber makes it stick to the ground even better IMO and steering response is more precise. I do plan on compensating for the added weight and taller tires by putting new rotors and calipers on (waiting on someone to make a kit for all 4 corners), J's racing 4.3 gears and possibly going FI. So to make a long story longer if you are racing....I would go with a light weight 16" wheel or a 17" with less width than these like the OZ rim or Volks. I was more interested in decreasing the time to drive 50 miles of curvy mountain roads than how fast I can make a 1/4 mile. It is all in what your aim is. I didn't get the car to race anybody but myself and since I personally believe there are alot of cars that can beat the S in a 1/4 mile I went in the direction of "try to catch me on the corners" That is where the car shines IMO. Whew a long paragraph for a simple answer. Sorry

 

emc2,
Is that a del Sol rear spoiler?

 

Very well put. Thanks again.

MrMacK - Yes it is.....It fits the lines of the car perfectly. Almost like it was made for it. The tips dip down at the same angle as the rear fenders and come within a 1/2 inch of touching. Also the pedestals had the same curve for the trunk lid. I knew the width was fine so I took a gamble and got it. To my amazement it fit. It is quite a bargain since spoilers made for the S2K way over priced and this one cost me 150...200 after paint and install Has no one else done this???? You would have thought someone would have noticed the similarities of the trunk. Maybe I can start a trend

 

nice ride .... by the way anyone know how much hard tops go for?

 

H & A , one of the site sponsors has hardtops for 2390.00, which is probably the best price you will find without being buddies with an owner of a dealership.

 

Wow, great looking car! emc2

Can you please tell me how much the rims cost?
I am looking for new rims and what you have is totally awesome!
I hope it is affordable.

Thanks.

 

nice ride very sleek/smoooooth

 

Hey I ran the del sol wing too on my S2000. I also have a Cusco rear spoiler but opted to go with the clean look and run no spoiler at all. It looks better (in my opinion). I could not find a spoiler that looked right on the car with the Cwest bodykit.
I did like the rear spoiler in GT3. LOL
Good job on the car.
