Thanks! Nothin smells as good as Pirelli rubber:p
The wheels are very nice. I was impressed with the quality of the manufacturing.
Cant wait to get them put on.

looks good man! Time to tear up Pecos Road! Whenever I visit thats the first place I go with my dad's Boxster - totally empty near the end where they're building new houses. Nice and straight and smooth too ;)

Nice choices, but be careful with the Pirelli Tires, i had the P7000 Supersports, 225/45/17 on another car not only was the ride terrible, the tires tracked, and the sidewalls of the tire actually started cracking..it was pretty scary. I dont know if i just had a bad set or what.

hopefully you wont have the problems i did

what suspen stuff are you getting??

i had a set of 245/35/19 Pirelli PZero Rosso Assymetrico's on my last car, they were ok, good dry traction, decent in the rain, but they wore out EXTREMELY quickly.

My last car (escort gt) I had P6000 and they were great!
A buddy of mine in cali had a Saleen with the P7000 ss and he loves them! He says they are totally predictible and track very straight. But thanks for the heads up.

KW V2. thay can be found at www.kwsuspension.com Thay are a direct swap for ours. Full coilover and they use Koni for the shock.

19" wow! Thats a HUGE tire! I dont expect these to last long, hopefully at least 15k miles. My stocks are ready to be replaced and I have 17k on the odo.

[EnJaNir]

i guess i just had a bad batch then :(...hope ya enjoy your setup..

Anything is possible. I would have taken them back. Pirelli is a totally straight up company and would want those tires to inspect to see what went wrong.
BTW: How do you like your SVX? I would love to own one. Too bad they are automatics.

[EnJaNir]

It didnt help that the place were i purchased those tires and rims went under :( So i just got new tires and rims..but instead of 17s got 18s with yoko pirada spec 2s..and have been happy ever since

I love it..but mines a 5 speed;)

Its been a strong car for the last 10 years, and people still ask if its a new model

Thats one thing i love about our Si's they are frequently come across as my svx...barely ever

[Brettnyt]

Woah man, you got a pretty sweet set up, rims and tires... Damn i need money, i cant stand the stock rubber... or wheels... or ride height... ;) :D

Well my fronts were worn after about 6k miles.
Probably 30 trips down the strip though.
And I had about 340hp/365tq, so that didnt help.
Still disappointed in how long they lasted for the $$$!!!

[EP33]

You get the KW's yet?

Nice choice in wheels. I dunno (not very knowledgeable about Ps) about the tires.

I almost got the black Fighters.

Pics will be up on Friday!

[SiR_d1]

cant wait to see them.

I plan on buying the same set of rims on tuesdays:D

[SiR_d1]

I thought I ordered the same rim but when I went to pick it up it was in hyper black instead of gunmetal and it wasn't a 4 lug setup. I am still deciding whether to keep them or get the ones I actually wanted. What do you guys think?

Wow, I didnt know they came in gunmetal. Where did you get yours? I got mine from discount tire. Got the whole sale "hook up":D

[SiR_d1]

your is gunmetal:confused:

[SiR_d1]

I just wanted to know do you also have to buy new lugnuts b/c the stock ones wont fit because mine wont. I have the eigth pattern as appose to your 4

[greenguy]

Mine are called Titanium. They are a goldish rose tint as describe on www.tires.com and look very nice IMHO.
I did buy new lugs ( Mac Gard spline drives.) but discount tire gived new lugs and hub rings with every wheel purchased. So I might have a spare set after today. Pm me if you want them. They are black.

[SiR_d1]

wheres the pics?

[SiR_d1]

the guy who sold me the rims said that 205/40 was teh right tires for these rims, but people on this site have been saying the 215 are the right ones. Is there a big difference?

10mm difference.
I am not sure on your wheels as 5zigen will make wills under contract for different wholesalers to there specs. They are not a staple wheel in there line up, ( at least thats my knowledge).

[greenguy]

Here is a quick, on the fly pic. More pics to come soon!
