    I went with 150# springs....seem to be okay on the initial test drive this afternoon. I think they may be a bit too soft when it comes time to push them hard.

    It was nice to be able and take a step back and look at the car from a distance to get the whole picture...something I couldn't do in the garage. I am very happy with the look these give the car. They are not as blingy as my old wheels but they do give a more aggressive attitude to the car. I tried to capture the deep concave of the wheel but I don't think they photograph as well as they look in person. They really have a 3D look which is why I choose this style forging vs. the more normal flat forgings.

                            • Thanks everyone! I'm glad people are liking them. I got a little nervous when I had alot of people telling me how much they liked my old wheels and it was gonna be hard to replace them with something just as nice or better.

                              Nope...but I'm thinking about submitting something this year now that the wheels are done. In my mind it's still not magazine ready yet though.

                              Yes, she is...now it's onto prepping for the baby's arrival.

                              Sadly, we will miss the M&G this year unless the wife wants to give me a break from helping her with our newborn...lol He's due the 20th of May so.....I don't see that happening.
