Mike those wheels look fantastic on your car. I am a big fan of the 5 spoke wheel on the Crossfire.

Nice wheels Mike. Look good on the Aero Blue.

Did I miss an update on your engine work? Curious what they found since you got your car back.

Mike I love The new shoes! I had a set of Manhiems on My cross for 3 months and liked the look However I also thought I needed to do a brake upgrade to fill in all that space. My Millinieums came in and I rememberd why I made that choice.

Yeah, that has been the biggest reason I have been wanting to get new 5 spoke wheels...I have been waiting for my rear tires to wear out so I could go wider with new rims.... those 16 spokes are a PITA and you can't get inside of the barrel to clean well without taking them off.... should have no problem now...

Are the offsets 32mm front and rear?

I still can't get over how GOOD that looks.

Now, the real question... when are you painting your rear calipers yellow to match?

Superb fitment on the wheels.

Yes, the offset is 32 on both ends.... this let me clear the C32 calipers in front without spacers and remove the spacers in back and still have the wheels near the outside of the fenders....


Yeah, I do need to find a yellow paint kit and do the rears and re-do the fronts... I did the fronts with engine spray paint before I installed them when I bought them.... I will probably pull them all off again when I do the rears...

I was very please to see how nicely my front rotors are wearing... these are used C32 rotors that came with the calipers and I had them re-surfaced before installing.....
