Just got my new heavy 18x8 wheels w/ 245's on today.. CRAZY difference from my old 225 on 17s and 215's on 15's that ive been running since turbo.. hooks up SOO much better..

as if everyone couldnt have guessed that - just figured i'd share my happiness in my new tires.

 

wheres my turbo?

 

glad to see your happy with 245's. If you go to the track do not let the air out. I went from 13.8 to 14 flat and running worse times so remember keep the air in the tire when you go to the track.

 

245 tires

 

what rims do you have?

 

I had the same experience with new tires BUT I get the feeling its more to do with the old crappy tires vs new High performance ones than just the tire width.

 

18" polished saleen wheels.

and, I had 225' kumhos on a 17" wheel w/ good tread..

and now i have 245' kumhos on a 18" wheel..

so , its wider = better traction, plus the more weight of the 18" makes it harder to spin..

first gear still SUCKS b/c of traction though!

 

Looking good bro...looking real good!

 

Gotta love polished 5 spokes

 

5 spokes gives that retro look, but it takes 7 spokes or more for the "in" look.....

some of the German cars have gone back to the 80's with the multi-spoked/finned look, it's like Jim Beam, everything comes full circle!

 

nice ... with that car you must get all the biddies

 

nice now go pick up some girlies

 

I'm with you. Last note I got from Nigel indicated some trouble
with kits missing parts so he's going to go over it himself when he
returns from his current trip in a week. And the wait continues...


Cheers,

JK

P.s. The above is not a slam on Nigel, I'm pretty sure it's a PFI
deal but I want BOOST.

 

haha, he was joking. I havent sold 1 kit yet, so he is not waiting for it from.. make sense? just to clear up if you thought i was not shipping. I should have pricing out tommorow..
