You will get a rain test soon. The RF's gave me no confidence in corners or even stopping for that matter. NO FUGLY WHEELS!

Hub rings??? Que? What are these Hub rings you speak of???
Tell you all what though, as I mentioned there is a weird wobble at a couple of speeds, but even with a wobble... Looking at them today on the car, they look so damn good I think, that I may not give that much of a shit about a minor wobble. Coming from me? That means they look really damn good. I am surprised b how much they change the entire look of the car.

NO, The Reflectors stay. I think they look just fine. They are well blended and look as though someone spent some time making them look decent.
Thanks though, I appreciate it. Now, What the hell are Hubrings?

Gotcha, I spoke to LongTran and apparantly the GT-7s are hub centric, so no Hub rings required. I'll just be heading back down to get em' balanced.
As for the drop??? I dunno, pretty sure I won't be dropping it at all, but when I look at that front end, I cannot help but think just a 1/2 inch even would make a huge difference.

Yup. I am actually considering a drop. When I see a nice car go by that is dropped a bit it sure catches my eye.

Besides, nothing funnier than watching some guy with a seriously low car try to navigate speed bumps, curbs, etc... No thanks. I'm out I spend far too much time out in the twisties, in the rain, and over and into driveways, curbs, etc. Don't want to be sweating every little road defect or edge out there in the world, got enough to think about. Besides, My ride sits pretty damned good as is. IMNSHO

Grip wise, straight line not to bad an improvement over stock. Lateral grip, improved over the OEMs but nothing dramatic I don't think. Haven't spent much time in the twisties with them yet. Without the Skate board sidewalls of the OEM runflats there is a softening of the initial turn in, however, the improvement in feel and over all comfort makes up for that in spades. But like I said with 4 days and maybe 25 miles on em? I'm still in the "getting to know you" stage.

The wheels look good on your car. If you are looking for just a tad drop, go with the Eibach pro-kit. I have them on my car and they look great. Not too low and great ride quality.
