Daytime photo's 045's on TC

Here are some pics of the MSR 045's..... Sorry they arent better but I'm not a photographer, the pics dont show how dark the rims actually are though.....





no clearance issues with brembo brakes or rubbing making u turns.

Sportline.....

I wish sometimes it were lower but I still can clear most curbs so I'm pretty happy...

I've only had her at the track(Summit Point, WV) once and that was before it was lowered, on/off ramps it feels a bit more planted and turn in seems to be better. But, the only way to really know if the sportlines helped is to get back out to the track to see if I can best my times..... Although, hopefully someone comes out with a lightweight forged rim by next spring, the MSR's are 21.6lbs but probably couldnt stand up to a track day...

Not stock... Notice wheel gap in front wheel? Still some there but much less with sportlines.

I was wondering the same thing! I would buy halos, but a lot of people have problems with them.

Thanks for the pics. Looks Amazing!
And yeah I was in the same boat about the halos. Hey Sbrtrg, would you mind keeping me updated on your halo situation(if he will do them and if you wouldnt mind how much hes charging). I've been looking into it, but I jsut dont wanna buy cheap ass ones over ebay.
