Upgrading to Wickeds ...
Quote:
I'm coming back for Wickeds this year, and will be selling these wheels. I want to get the slightly added benefit of the 18's and wider tire section, and switch to the Michelin Pilot Sports. Along with front and rear strut tower braces, that will only add to the great handling it already has with the GT Worx/RCEs and upgraded sway bars we put on it. What's great about either the Wickeds, or the straight up Awesomes, is that they're both lighter than the stock wheel and tire configuration. Wickeds with Michelin Pilot Sports weigh in at 44lbs and the stock config is 46lb for each. I can't recommend Mach V enough, but I do wish they were closer!

parts 2:
To get the Sit center caps I took them from my spare track wheels (OEM 07 wheels) and used my mill with rotary table to mill them down to fit. Then hand polished the edges. Worked awesomely. Tires are 245/40 17 Pirellis. The Pirellis have a smaller contact patch than other 245s I've had... especially track tires... and the shoulders are very rounded... I'll have to use them up before getting something else though. Car is on AST 4100 coilovers. Not slammed by any means, but lower than stock or my old JDM Pink springs. |

A local buddy has the same wheels (and color) on his '07 SWP STi. I'm looking at the gunmetal for my '07 WRB STi. I'm lowered on Feal Fixed Perch Struts with RCE Black Springs (Group N TopHats). |

Curious if you've seen how the Awesomes fit on GD cars with 265s?
For reference, I love mine... been running them with 245s and looking to go bigger. They are track wheels for me. Running RCE Tarmac 2 coilovers with 500/400 springs and compression/rebound cranked up stiff. -3.4 degrees camber front and -2.0 rear. I don't mind rolling fenders but would rather not pull them or go with flares. |

This winter I had some curb rash fixed and while I was at it had my Wicked Awesome wheels powder coated in Spanish Gold. The darker gold actually works with WRB a little better I think.

Dirty as hell but I can vouch for their strength. This is Turn 3 at Road Atlanta last year for Gridlife South. Set a track record on this lap too!
