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.

There you go  :happy2:

Shoduchi:
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:
