When I see my car in the daylight I will take some pics. But I can say this...the car is COMPLETELY transformed. I compare it to running around in the grass with flip flops versus tennis shoes. Remarkable...for sure. These wheels are about the same weight as OZ Superleggara (sp)...which are pretty light.
I could not be happier...ok, a 930, condo in Aspen and a Super Model would make me happier, but you get my drift.

Catbutt, where did you get the wheels? New or secondhand?
A bit of perhaps little known trivia - Rial had a Formula 1 team in the '80s. Not very successful though.

^^ Just saw your sig...so what's wrong with Heyvon Motors? I've only been there once, not for servicing per se, but just to check them out. Couldn't really draw any conclusions...

They are basically young kids (nothing wrong there) that seem to be mostly bolt on kings. I had them do my services and when I got the car the back the radiator return nipple was cracked. They were supposed to see why my cruise did not work after putting a $300 sensor it still did not work. They were supposed fix my headlight wipers and did not and actually told me not to force them and when I brought it back they just yanked on them and said "I guess you need two new motors". I guess maybe for services or simple bolt on stuff they would be ok, but not real diag stuff.

I wouldn't take my car anywhere there are young kids working.
it's a sign the shop pays the bare minimum and won't invest in anything- that's why they employ kids. Your car will be a learning experience that you are paying for if you let them touch it.

Well the kids are the owners...when I say kids I mean mid twenties-ish. And they have done some cool cars and got some write ups in mags (not that that means much). But again, I think for blot on stuff (wheels, suspension, etc) they would be fine, services...likely fine too. But I was bummed on the diag skills and some of the repair they did.

I'm not sure who makes them...no markings and they were on the car when I bought it. They are a projector style and are pretty bright, not aimed all that well, but I will fix that at some point.

Actually, they are lighter than the Superlegerra III's. Just looked it up.
