thx man, the charger pulls pretty hard, haven't raced anyone at the light, but I did race my friends WRX on the highway, and pulled away from him from 80+. Torque steer is not really bad at all, but it's hard to launch cause there's just too much power for first gear. best mod ever

I'm really convinced multi-spoke is the way to go after looking at your car and Tsx536's. They really compliment the lines of our car well.
Did you get 18x8? I believe the Ultra's are more than $200/wheel cheaper than the Kruezer's, right? At about the same weight, I think they're quite a value. They also have this darker grey version that I'm interested in.

Thanks guys,
Yeah they are 18x8. It took me over a year to decide what wheels to get, I really loved the Advan Kruezer's and was set on them, but the price kept bugging me. If I had the dough I would, but like Black_6spd said, 200$ cheaper is 800$ overall and for 800$ cheaper I could live with the Ultraleggras.
Yeah I love the multi spoke on the TSX, but for some reason my rims look the worse from straight on cause then they seem more like 5 spoke split. But it's growing on me. Plus they're really light weight, 18lbs each.
The Euro-R kit has made my exhaust look tiny, so thats the next and hopefully last mod.
Thanks everyone for all the help since I got my car.
Tsx536 if you ever want to trade wheels....let me know

haha the porsche is my friend's, it's actually falling apart. Naw the Euro-R kit I got doesn't come with tip extenders...I got this 100$ thank you credit from Acrua, but I might just hold off for an new exhaust.
Tire specs are 235/40/18" Perelli Nero M+S.
After I mounted the tires, I had my car raised a little bit just in case, I think I need to drop it more now.

How's the ride with the 235 series tires vs. OEM?
My Advans have a 225 tire on them, and I want to go to 235 for the next set.
I really love the look of your car now

235 ride is a little more rough than I expected, not so bad in the front but pretty rough in the back from what my passengers tell me. Bumps on the road are definately more noticable. This is with me raising the care a bit.

sho-one: man it would have been great if you could make it to the meet... I bought the Euro R kit and I had some installation questions (along with the foglights) that I would have love to ask you in person... but anyway, car looks damn good

Hi sho-one,
Very nice car you have !!!
I'm planning myself to install Ultraleggera on my CL7 - but on 17" : 8Jx17 ET48 with 224/45 R17 tires.
I will drop the car with Eibach or H&R - haven't decided yet so I was wondering if I'll have any rubbing issue with a setup like this ?
As you have experience with this wheels can you please tell me if I'll be ok with this wheels ?
