The fake centre lock might be a bit taccy but I like it. Should be here in about 2 weeks and have ordered 4x Michelin Pilot super sports for them as well. Hopefully they clear the brakes fine and I will be interested to see if I can feel the weight/ diameter reduction.

Name of the wheels if you dont mind me asking :drool:

You'll definitely feel the light weight. ;)
Those are HLT, so they're stronger than just the cold casted wheels. :congrats:

What difference should I expect? I imagine sharper turn in and better steering feel?
Shoduchi:
You'll also notice that your engine will be able to accelerate more readily. Not sure if that won't make you to be more careful with the throttle to avoid wheel spin. :laugh:
