Xmas in June...

Look what British Airways dropped in front of my garage this morning!














[PS: BA dropped the wheels, not the entire car!]

Those are great!!! What size are they? Can you post a pic head on/back on from a low perspective and exposure brighten up a bit so that we can appreciate the stance of the car???

Thanks

They look good WilyB!

Be sure and report on the performance, stability and sound of the Yokohama's

Thanks for sharing.

Yes Yokohama is a great tire so PLEASE let us know more details on them

[SmartCard]

Nice!

(I hope they don't void your warranty! ;) )

[ShaneXman]

VERY nice!

Now for the details. Where'd you get them? How much? More info...PLEASE!

I have not installed yet the shocks and the springs. The rear wing extensions are at the paint shop. I shall report when the set is fully installed. So far the wider wheels/tires give the car a much more confident "large car" stance on the road.

The BRABUS kit drops the car by 10 mm (1/3 of an inch) front and rear.

Rims re 16" front and 17" rear.

The YOKOHAMA tires are a couple or three notches above the Continentals...

Cost was an arm and a leg, plus our first born...

I think those are the nicest looking after market wheels I've seen yet!! Wish they were available in the US, I'd buy 5 16"s and tires today!!!
