Default 20s on a D2??? (A bit long)

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/107647/img_0137.jpg"></center><p>I got a good geal from Scott (thanks Scott) so I jumped on these few weeks ago. I wasn't sure about going up 3 sizes, but with our large wheel wells they seem to balance out visually.

Harshness increase: minimal, since I was running my old 17" Sumitomos at ~40lbs to try to get some handling out of them.

Handling: Noticable improvement. I was planning on getting General UHPs since I have them on another car and I like their performance/price. And these wheels came shod with them.

Weight increase: Around 3-4kg per tire. Increase in unsprung weight is somewhat noticeable in reduced damping. My shocks have 140k on them tho... they are next!

That would really sing if you lower the car. If you're changing shocks, might as well slam it.

Default I think it's: Amethyst Grey Mica Metallic

It's a grey with a hint of purple.
