Another New Rim Thread

My new forged Velox PG-5S's wrapped in 215/45/17 Wanli S1099s(similar to Yokohoma AVS sports). 12.5lbs and the difference in handling, braking and acceleration with a lighter wheel is major.

Very nice. I have noticed nobody seems concerned about weight in all the "wheel buyers guides" that the mags do they dont give out the info on weight some of us are looking for more than BLING. good choice Fury656 I like them, however I agree a tint is in order here I myself can not afford a forged wheel so I am looking at the ROTA SubZeros in either silver or bronze

Got them from Emotion Garage, great guys to work with. I paid 1140 for them shipped with lugs and wheel locks, got very lucky on that price. Soon you might see my car on Velox's site, at which point id take some better pics.

Awesome rims they were on my list since they weigh only 15 or so. Talk to ILP Performance about those if you havent already, great guys to deal with as well i bought my tires from them.
