Got the new wheels and tires on yesterday. I was pleasantly supprised I did not lose any ride quality with the 20's.

The fronts are 8.5's with 245-30R 20's and the rears are 11's with 325-25R 20's.

The wheels are "Victor Equipment" and the Tires are Pirelli "Zero Nero's". They (the tires) are very quiet and the car handles beautifully.

I will take some good pictures. Just took this one with my phone in the parking garage at work today. I'm really pleased with the way it came out :D

I thought the "Florio" was a bit too much for me. It's also very heavy. Also every lowered Honda, BMW Etc in my town has wheels with black centers and polished lips. I was wavering whether to get the Turismo with the black center. I decided on the silver because it kept the theme of the original Carrera wheel. Especially with the colored Porsche caps.

I wish we could try on wheels like women do shoes...... :P

Anyway it looks very nice without looking "Pimped".

I got new TPMS sensors as well so my stock wheels stay in tact...

Thanks for the feedback!

Phillip,

What did you do about the TPMS? did your sensors mount in the new wheels?

I got new sensors for the wheels. I wanted to leave the stock wheels in tact for the next owner...

I've never been a huge fan of chrome wheels, but the design is very clean and it compliments the car nicely.

Take some better pics for us, and watch out for potholes! :D

number9ine,

The wheels are not chrome. Only the lip is polished. The picture is misleading. The spokes are silver and the inside rim is graphite. I dislike chrome wheels as well.

I will take better pictures and then can tell what they really look like. Here is a pic of the wheel I have from Victor's website. The do offer a chrome version as well..

Thanks for your input!!
