Re: I'm broke!
Well, I was going to wait on my new Falkens, but that might be a while. I'm going to take a tire off my Koseis and mount it tomorrow.

Discount at Spring Creek and Central. I was thinking about approaching them with a discount structure or something for Vorshlag users? A free plug on the blog? We'll see what he/she says.Brian Hanchey

Re: I'm broke!
Frank, the manager, was not there today. I talked to an assistant and he said they used to do that for the S2k club so it may be promising. I'll let ya know. If you go by there when Frank is there, ask for him and tell him you're a member of the Vorshlag club. That's how I was approaching it, a club discount, etc.Brian Hanchey

Re: I'm broke!
Giddee up!! Looks like my calculations were correct. Time to go order two more wheels and 15mm spacers.

Re: I'm broke!
I only mounted one so I didn't want to go far, but I drove the same loop when it was on the front and rear, violent transitions, some bumps, not a peep out of 'em. It was weird on some new asphalt you could totally tell turn in with the side that had the Falken. I'm sure it would be that way on any wheel next to my M+S Pirellis, but it was encouraging!!Brian Hanchey

Re: I'm broke!
So how different are these from the 17x9.5 Z06 wheels y'all had test fitted? That might be an affordable option for DSP wheels one day.

Re: I'm broke!
Z06 wheels needed a big, custom spacer to work. This spacer would also have to fix the hub size mismatch between the wheels but still couldn't fix the >1mm difference in bolt circle. Custom, custom, custom.Originally posted by Tommy RSo how different are these from the 17x9.5 Z06 wheels y'all had test fitted? That might be an affordable option for DSP wheels one day.

Still... it's tempting. They looked SO good! But "affordable" Z06 wheels are repros, which are heavier and weaker. "Real" Z06 fronts are more expensive and harder to find in GOOD shape...Comment
