Going to start this thread and add to it as I go. Won't be nothing too crazy just trying to keep it clean and simple.

Thanks for looking.

Stock when I brought it home 7/9/17 250 miles

I have some team dynamics Pro 1.2 in Bronze 15x8 to go on, just need to get tires for them. Probably go on in the spring as it is getting close to bad weather season here.

Thanks for looking.

Did you buy/order/locate the car with the factory Michelin Pilot Sport AS/3s on the factory wheels for the winter season?

Nice clean build so far. [thumb]

I DO regret not getting the black factory wheels now, since they look SOO good on our Magnetic cars. [:(]
(But I wanted to put that ~$400.00 into the black Pro Race 1.2s in 17x8, and tires for them. ;) )

I have the grey rims, and because of the brake dust, they don't stay clean for long.

How well do the ebony rims hide the dust?

M-Sport I honestly do not know about that option for the tires. Mine has the summer tire setup on it from the factory. I will be storing it over the winter months in my garage and it will only see drive time when weather permits. Sorry I cannot fully answer your question. I appreciate the comments [cheers]

Sprinkle, the brake dust shows, on the black wheels it just kind of makes them look flat black instead of gloss when it gets on them. Takes about a solid week between cleanings before you can start to to tell.

Thanks again for the comments. I plan to keep it simple and clean as best I can just trying to make an already fun car that much more fun if that makes any sense haha.

^^^YA MON!!! [twothumb]

The bronze 1.2s DO look GREAT on our color!! [perfect10]
If I ever get another set in a 15x8 size, it will probably be THAT color!!!

The car sits SPOT-ON PERFECT with the Swift springs (as well as performing about the best of any factory fit, non-coil over setup)!! [like]

Thanks, I do agree the bronze does look great. The car feels very well balanced as it sits both in handling and power. Probably hold off on any else major for a bit and enjoy it as it is.

Thanks for the comments. [twothumb]

Looks sweet. Any rub? I had 15x7s on swifts and it was amazing. Always wondered if 8s would rub.

How does the car feel on swift and stock struts? Too soft?


And did you do the 4x100 conversion?

^^^^The whole point of the Pro Race 1.2s is NOT be forced to bother with the whole 4x100 conversion thing to have a GREAT looking, strong, NOT made in China, and relatively light (but no, not the ZERO weight feathers so many on here require) wheel. [wink]

No rub that I can tell and or feel or see. From my research the Nitto Neo Gens come in right around a 7.5" tread width, with that being said there is also minimal stretch on the sidewall of the tire. The setup feels very planted from my observation. As M-Sport stated I did not do a 4x100 conversion these wheels fit the factory hub bore and bolt pattern perfectly.

Thanks for the comments.

I just ordered my Swift SPEC-r Sport Springs(SWIFT-4X910R) today. Hoping they don't disappoint. Got them for $246 shipped through a work contact. My mechanic is only charging me $60 to install them as he's gonna do the alignment and charge me another $50 so yeh. Speed kills 83, how do you like them so far? Any rubbing? I have 17" x 7 1/2" wheels with stocks 205/40 tires so I hope I don't rub. I'm being told I wont as its only a one inch drop pretty much all around.
