Drawing board

Well, time to go back to the drawing board. My original plan was to make this thing handle and I had made it much worse with this combo. I understand now why people seek out lightweight wheels. 

But first this set had to go. So swap on the Play Skool wheels and hit up Craigslist to place an ad. After just a week, I sold them to a guy with a 2001 Miata to replace his 16's. They fit his car much better and felt glad to recoup most of the cash I had blown on this setup. Plus with about 50 miles on the tires, he got a good deal.

I did some more research and needed something that more fit the bill than what I had previously. Forget about anything over 16s and focus on getting something reasonable, good looking, and lightweight. I considered the 6ul's, Buddy Club P1's and a few of the Konig wheels.

What I came up with was the 15x6.5 Konig Feather in a +38 offset. The choices in color were silver, gloss black and gold. I had been looking at gloss/matte black wheels and really fell in love with how they look against the Storm Silver Metallic.

I found a couple pics on FitFreak.net of another member who had the same wheels. I think with the black headlights that I will get up front and the black headlight housing, it will look great. I think the rims look stealthy and purposeful.

Now, we will see if I need to break down and roll the fenders to gain a few mm's to a rub free motoring experience.
