Default Getting ready for the road course...(PICS)

Painted my Millenia wheels and mounted my BF Goodrich R1's. Now I just have to get my brakes done.









Notice how the suspension hasn't settled yet in the pics. I only mounted them to one side to see how they looked/fitted.

Thanks. I didn't weigh them, but they're noticeably lighter than stock ITR wheels. I don't understand that one...but oh well.

I sanded them down lightly and my dad painted them for me with Rust-o-leum Semi-gloss black.

they reportedly weigh about 12 pounds, compared to 15+ for stock ITR rims. the top ITR autocrossers run the millenia wheels becasue they're the same size as stock (and hence, legal in GS)

Thanks for being more specific Speedy. I guess I just have low motivation today.

I need a new job...BAD.

15x6 and the same offset as the ITR. Not exactly sure what the offset is, but it's legal for GS (AutoX) and that's why they're so popular among AutoX'ers. I can't wait to try them out!

They look great painted black! Don't forget tho that that paint adds additional weight...

briq4 - who just painted his 93 Accord's Windshield wiper arms cause they had leporsy.

What method did you use to paint them? Powdercoat? Spray Paint? Body shop?
