New wheels!!!! (wedssport)
The season of modding is upon us! The weather has been awesome, so I pulled my baby out of storage yesterday and got to work. These wheels have waited very patiently in their cardboard confines - today they got introduced to their new home! Now I gotta get rid of that front wheel gap..
Wheels: wedssport SA-55M Front: 9.5" et24 (21.9lbs) Rear: 10.5" et24 (22lbs) Rubber: conti extremecontact DW Front: 265/30/19 Rear: 285/30/19 This weekend the akra goes on. Last edited by bklounge; 03-15-2012 at 04:40 PM.. |

No rubbing at full lock, but over bumps while turning I've noticed occasional rubbing. Pulling the camber pins will hopefully get rid of this - when the V3's are installed I'll find out.

Opted out on the wireless kit, so I grinded off the plug to get the full experience. Was kinda surprised that the fitment wasn't perfect on the midpipe coming off the downpipe - the flanges mated up fine, but the other end of the midpipe connecting to the resonator pipe didn't line up perfectly and required a bit of muscling to get on. Not sure if this is how they all are? Anyways, the sound is wild and deep and LOUD above 3k rpm. WOT has become addicting. Last edited by bklounge; 03-20-2012 at 05:02 PM.. |

Tire type also plays a big roll - I went with conti extremecontact DW because of the rounder sidewall. I wanted to go PSS but they're a bit too beefy with my plans to lower this summer. Once it stops snowing I'll grab some side shots and close-ups of the wheels. |
