I really love the car. It is alot smoother power delivery. My VIII was straight raw feeling and gave the big kick. This one just kind of smoothy gives it to you. But I like all of the new fancy features like not having a key for the ignition. or just touching the doorhandle with the key in your pocket and the doors unlock for you. Its pretty sweet i must say, lol. Finally have cruise which is nice.. It has a sweet digital info center (miles till empty, outside temp and such..) The seats are alot more snug than my VIII and the headlight adjustment for the hids is nicer and you can see more of the road unlike the hids in my VIII.

 

what part of pitts are u from? id like to check it out if you wouldnt care

 

Ouch, salt in the wound

Now if it only had a 4G63 in it.....

 

Surprisingly at no other than Sears! I work there and let's just say I get special discounts!

 

does anyone know exactly how much the bbs wheels weigh with tires?

Dan, how much do those 5zigen wheels weigh with the tires?

 

i don't know how much they weigh, but if someone has a scale and wants to find out i have the bbs' with yokos on them, and a set of the 5zigens with no tires.

 

I knew they were roughly 3 lbs. lighter per wheel but didnt know the actual number - did a quick search and here ya go:

VIII Enkei - 20.50lbs
IX Enkei - 20.17lbs
BBS - 17.74lbs

and if anyone ever wonders for reference - yes you can fit 4 wheels and 4 tires (not mated) in the car. But its a very tight fit, and really not that fun to drive that way

 

ya i have the bbs's on my car and i was carrying dan's old 5zigen down the stairs and they just seemed really heavy to me

 

hey thanks for the info!

 

well if i found the right size the 5zigen fn01r are about 21.5-22.0 lbs

 

that's honestly alot heavier than i thought they would be.

i figured them more in the 18 - 19 range.

well, i guess not a lot heavier.

 

Well dont forget the 5zigen's are 18 inch wheels compare to the stocker's

I have weighed each combo with tires mounted , and the stock enkei tire combo is close to 5lbs. each lighter and that was with the same exact tire as well just in the 17 inch variety.

I always tracked the car with the stock wheels on

 

i guess i really didnt think about the size difference, thats really not too bad. except i'll be keeping snow tires on my bbs wheels for the winter

 

One last shot at selling these....or I will just keep them and get 2 new tires to replace the worn tires.

See pics on site.

Selling them locally $850, will deliver within 25 miles of 15101.

 

I definately wouldn't replace just two tires. You have to do all 4.
