18" Carrera Wheel Weights

[clubhead]

Some pics of the wheels..... and yes, I re-sprayed the calipers to match my car. Love the looks of yellow calipers which normally signifies ceramic brakes

Nice look! What type paint did you use on the calipers? Standard body paint or other?

Standard out-of-the-can high temp yellow paint. YHT is the brand I think...

You will need to get a paint shop to spray a layer of lacquer over it though else the color will be matt instead of glossy. I got the paint shop to do everything for me...

I wonder how they compare in weight to the 18" turbo twists or sport conti's. Light weight can be relative term.

That's interesting info on the wheel weights.

I spoke to WheelEnhancement.com and requested wheel weights for the folowing
BBS RS-GT
Kinesis K28
and the Carreras

They said they were all within a pound of each other at 21 pounds.

I was surprised because I thought the Kinesis and the BBS RS-GT would be much heavier than the Carreras.

Anyhoo, I purchased the Carreras for $1930 delivered. I already received my Toyo Proxes RA-1 from Frisby Tire for just under $1000. I'm waiting on the front wheels which should be arriving today.

I also got a hold of OEM GT3 front bumper,skirting(fiberglass) and two GT3 seats(boxster red) for $3,100 but I'm going to killed on the shipping.
