The only way i will pay for wheels is if i can feel the difference
16x7 Slipstreams are 13lbs from what i hear (correct me if its wrong)

Coming from the miata world, wheel weight means a lot. But ive always used stock miata wheels at 11.2 lbs

Will i tell the difference in my RS if i get slipstreams? im thinking i wont

And Perrin Lightweight Pulley, how is that? (for an RS)
Thanks

 

I notice my Perrin lightweight pulley. You should hear out Daios' opinion on lightweight pulleys.

 

Cool i might get one this week.

and where do i go to hear Daios' opinion?

 

PM him? Haha.

 

ha i was like who him? ok i did it.

have you had your car weighed yet? hows the driving?

 

It is okay. Put stock headers back on. I still have an exhaust leak, but I know where it is. Right now, I am trying to replace my cracked wheel. Also, I need to get my hands on rear hubs and parking lines. I went to the junkyard in Rancho Cordova and they wanted $320 for all of that. Yeah...

 

I remember when I first put on my lightweight pulley. Dude from LIC in the black GC told me to take it off right away as all the blown motors he had seen had them. With our car it is fine to replace the crank pulley with a lightweight one. This is one of those topics that will always go back and forth but my pulley has been on the car since 6k and I just passed the 37k mark with no signs of any issues and I BEAT my STi.

 

I think it's a bit wierd seeing Spoon replica wheels on a Subaru, but hey they are really light wheels! :P

 

Some pulleys will throw CELs.


I would run a non-underdriven pulley set like the MSI or Proecm. I've put about 50k on mine

It is... but no thanks.

 

Miata's rule.
