Got this from the Sponsor's post here's a comparison on regular vs titanium hardware weight.
Weight of the normal steel bolt and nut: 0.8 OZ Weight for Titanium bolt and but: 0.4 OZ Thats half the weight! Multiply that by 40 bolts = 16 oz Thats a savings of 1 lb per wheel, not the biggest difference, but all the weight savings is around the edge which is more beneficial than weight saved towards the center. |

Definitely gloss black. The only other option might be gloss red but that would be getting a little busy down there.

If it's an M Sport then it's worthy of Decals IMO.

No decals. Keep it solid and clean.

Should be in by the 3rd week of October! I'll rock it before it snows than she will hibernate for the winter. Thinking about sending my unit out to GSR for a flash tune since the car will be sitting?

Just ordered some Titanium lug bolts and locks from Burger Tuning! couldn't get myself to order the Tikore's cause their $700 a set. These were only $249 and I ordered the golden titanium color. just some info for those who don't know:
Titanium is known for its superior strength, light weight and corrosion resistance. This set of OEM style Grade 5 Titanium Lug Bolts is not only stronger than stock but weigh 45% less. A net savings of about a pound of rotating weight. Every pound counts in racing. Each set includes all 20 bolts and is priced almost half of what others charge for the same material. Here's the Tikore's Here's the Advan1's...about $700 also!

i know before you guys rape me about it but it's just car jewelry for me! also, my wheels did not come with wheel locks so originally i was looking for wheel locks and you know how it goes when you start looking and searching through the forums and the internet sites. so since my wheels are forged might as well add some titanium lugs since they have the included wheel locks! also, so freakin excited my wheels just came in so they're taking pictures and weighing them and than assembling them for me so as soon as i get the pictures i'll update the build.

Damn bro! Nice wheels I like the ti lug bolts too!
As far as your tires, test fit a rear wheel and see if the lip sticks out past the fender, if it does your going to rub with 305's. You will most likely have to run a 295, the guy who posted the forgestar 20x11 et 40 is NOT running a 305 he looks like he's running a 285 or a skinny ass 295. Don't buy tires yet or you'll buy rears twice like I did. Edit: I just looked at his pics again and he is running a 285? Why? What's the point of running a 20x11 with a 285? Put the widest you can fit on that bitch!!!! Last edited by Teddylongtooth; 10-16-2015 at 01:18 PM.. |
