I agree

Currently running 215s, but not out of choice. Came with the new rim...

all good

Word of advise... DONT DO IT

--

It was whateva... car had excellent grip thru the twisties on 245s w/ that setup tho. If only we had the ability without going to extreme measure to add a degree of camber to the rear. If only... lol

Would give the car a more neutral feeling thru the turn without having to soften the front dampeners considerably.

---

So why not Tenzo Rs? These a lot lighter?

Lol.

I got the tires mounted and balanced. I didn't catch it, but one of the wheels has a slight bend in the lip, nothing serious, definitely nothing i could have noticed until the tire was put on, but it holds air just fine.

Pics in a bit.

i would complain will, you paid good money for these wheels. with some luck they might send you a replacement free and let you keep the bent wheel.
