Got my new wheels!

So... after dreaming about them for the past month and having to wait to come back from vacation to get them mounted and balanced.. I finally got my new shoes on!

I love the look! I wasn't too sure how it'd all come together, but I was going for performance over looks in the wheel category. They're ENKEI RPF-1 15x7" +41mm Offset and the rubber is General Exclaim UHP 195/55VR15s. Slight rubbing in the front on big bumps, but that is only from the clips that hold the inner fender well splash covers so I'm not worried. The tires are pretty beefy looking and have an aggressive shoulder... i think this is causing the slight rub. For those who want to know, I'm riding on Tein S-techs.

I weighed my stock 15" wheels and tires and they came in a 37.8lbs per wheel.

The new ones came in at 27.1lbs per wheel! The difference is really noticeable and I am so happy with the results!!! MAD PROPS to DynamicFit for helping me out with my new shoes!

Here are some pics! ENJOY!

Any of you guys rub in the front? The tires I got are fat.. look like 205s almost.. just wondering if I should roll my front fenders, or just remove the plastic clip that i believe its rubbing on..
