How heavy are these wheels??
I wonder how bad they will affect your performance and gas mileage.

Carbon Legend

wheel and tire weigh 52lbs. Gas Mileage is about normal so far for city driving 19.6-20.2

BadMojo

Wow those look nice, I wish they came is a smaller diameter, I imagine the ride changed quite a bit from stock...

not really its just as good the dws is a very comfortable tire and road noise is pretty much does not exist anymore they also come in 19's. 18's do not fit our cars i tried all the offsets at tirerack in the 18" wheels and the spoke design hits the brakes right where the spokes meet the hub area

Nice wheels.... Looks like a good lowering will complete the job?

Carbon Legend

im not 100% sure i will be lowering it. 1 i live in shitty indiana we have more pot hole's than the moon. we get quite a bit of lake effect snow as well

BadMojo

Ahh nice, I checked the Rack a couple of months ago and these only came in 20"... Now I have to think about how this would look on a Celestial paint job to consider the black vs. silver.

Thanks for the heads up!

i would like to see this in silver... with the car lowered..

do you think teh 19" version fits?

how much heavier are these than your OEM setup???

can you describe how the ride is different? better handling?

BadMojo

Sounds like 23109VC and I might be in the same mod boat thanks to you, LSM!

Anybody with chopping skills willing to change this photo to be a Silver RL for us?

Thanks,
Mojo

Carbon Legend

i can do it but i need a nice side shot of a silver RL. Kind of Hard to search the board on my phone. if you post it i can chop it when i get on my laptop

I think they mean "see [the wheels] in silver..." not the car. I could be wrong though. I would like to see them in silver as well.

BadMojo

Actually, I'd like to see both if you have the time (and the skill)!. Here's a silver RL to work with...



Thanks!
Mojo

BadMojo

Downloaded a copy of Paint.net and gave it a go myself...

Love...freaking love those wheels!! I want a set so bad!!

Looks really good, if I go with those, they will have to be silver..just my .02 cents.

Did u ever lower your car?

Carbon Legend

Carbon Legend, anywhere I can see all ur car pics?

Well, actually I bought the 18" BRO1s from Tirerack for my RL and I have no fitment issues. Slapped the recommended 245/45r18 tires on it and the ride is still smooth and no spedo issues. I went with the 18s because I got a deal on the tires.

Ballinger

Show us a photo of the car with the BR01's!

Carbon Legend

BRO1's are not the wheels that i have. the BRO5's are what my wheels are. and the 18's would not fit with my wheel. I did not try the BRO1's

lilryan

How much heavier than stock 17s are these. They look great

nynruas

Sorry Carbon Legend, had to reread it. I thought you said there were no 18's that would fit our cars. Anyways, here's a pic of my dirty RL with the 18's. I'm planning on lowering it next year. (If I can upload the pic.)
