20 " Diablo Color matched Teardrops

**StarJack** · 11-19-2005, 08:29 PM

I had my Goodyear 245/45/20 tires mounted on my new rims, balanced and put on the car yesterday. I like 'em, I like 'em a lot!

I've had 3 positive comments on them in 24 hours.

They do make the ride a little more sensitive to road conditions. No change on really good pavement, but moderately more sharp on rougher roads. I'm already getting used to it. There is just a little more 'slop' around the outer most part of the hub on these than there was on the stockers. I may put hub centric rings on it. There is just the slightest bit of vibration in the steering wheel around 70-75. I only notice really because there was ZERO vibration with the stockers, even at higher speeds. Not sure yet. The performance shop mentioned a place that did balancing with the wheels on the car that I might try first. I do get a 'stickier' sensation on corners, though I'm not going to romp it until I've had the torque checked and put 2-300 miles on them.

Anyway, I'm sure they're not for everybody, but take a look and let me know what you think. You can change the picture size to original at the bottom of the picture if you want a closer look.

fancy-schmancy. can the 6 point white star be changed to match the vehicle color?

Great look. I like it.

fnky,

I think these are color matched based on the title of the thread...

When you hold the spokes up to the car they are and almost perfect match. The chrome seems to make them appear just a touch lighter in person, and quite a bit lighter in some photo's. If you'll notice, in the third picture they seem a little closer to matching. These are not the greatest of shots either, I'll get some better ones soon...

If you set this picture to Original size it shows the real color better...
