The WORK wheels are 21 lb each, heavier than the stock ones, but they are also 9.5" wide. The tires are another whopping 28 lb! I can't really say anything about the bump-steer correction yet, since I hadn't had a chance to really beat up on it. Once I get the spacer thing sorted out, and the car settles down engine wise too, there is definitely a track day on the calendar.

Speaking of the MR wheels..... What are your plans for them?

I'm looking for another set of track wheels.

I wished I could have been there to see the work in progress. Once I decide on the coil-overs I want, I need the Robi-spec treatment.

I have a set of Enkei RP02J's 17x9 with 255 pilot cups that I might sell when I get my 17x9.5 with 275's. Offset is 35, weight is 17lbs, 3-4mm tread remaining on 3 tires - good for several track days. Robi says that they are good, strong wheels.

The other Robi tuned car
I own the other car which Robi tuned. Here's a couple photos of my car with the current 255's on 17x9 Enkei RPO2J's. I have 9.5" wide wheels on order from Robi and will mount some 275's on them. Should have much more grip and really fill out those rolled fenders!

Looking good! Did your springs settle at all after the install? I think mine may have settled a couple of millimeters, but nothing that caused any problems. Have you had a chance to go play with it yet?

I hate to admit it, but I haven't driven the car since the tuning day. I'd assume that the springs would drop a little bit as they settle in. A couple mm sounds about right.

Overall width is 10.9", but for some reason the tread width isn't listed on their web site (http://www.toyo.com/tires/tire_specsheet.cfm?id=1)

Pina
One of the goods things about this tuning day was being exposed to Pina for the first time. They were a well equipped shop that seems capable of most any Evo service/upgrade. I was impressed. I called them today to schedule an install of an AMS 3071 kit.
