Default Tein Mono Flex on 17s

I just got done refinishing a set of iForged FS6 wheels and got the Tein Mono Flex installed. Not a perfect job on the wheels, but they came out pretty good for my first try. They are 17x10 with 275/40-17R and 17x8 with 235/45-17F.





Before pics... (in reverse chronological order)

Call me crazy but for some reason I liked it with stock wheels better than the others. Just looked very clean.

Thanks for the comments!

s2klove04: Nothing to be confused about the pics just go from the most recent (luckily the ones you liked!) all the way back to how it was stock (and all the stops in between.)

MGP: Through the whole process, and especially when I was working on getting the wheels refinished, I had thought many times of just abandoning the whole thing and going back to stock. Now that it is done, though, I'm glad I followed through with it; though stock may still be in my future!

rijowysock: The wheels are part of their Racing Series. 2 piece, forged center with polished rim. I can't seem to find much information other than that, though. They originally belonged to Cornfish and I picked them up off the Themadsupra last year. The springs still need to settle, so I am holding off on final ride height, but I probably won't go too much lower considering some of the nasty roads here in New England.

TougeAddict: Thanks! Loving the Monos! How are you making out with yours?

The mono flexes are 10k front and back so they're not that harsh. Ride is very similar to stock, but can be stiff in certain situations.
