New summer shoes... this time 18" with 275/35/18 (edit bigger pics!)
The summer wheels are Team Dynamics Racing Pro Race 1.2 in 18x9 with a 23 offset, rubber is the new Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1, Star Spec in a 275/35/18.
Suspension is the STaSIS SL setup.
This is the most rubber you can get on this car IMHO. I had to remove the screw in the front fender and re-glue the rear liner to make certain it was tight in the wheel well. No rubbing after a good road test up the canyon near my house.
Special thanks to GollyGwagen (Chuck) for sourcing the wheels for me and Tire Source in Boulder for the help with rubber!

I still like the OEM wheel best but the choice of rubber in 19's is limited...

Gotta love the WIDE look

No more room here, the inside of the front wheel is less than a finger to the suspension parts.

They are not forged, TDR makes competition and rally wheels
at $249 per wheel they are a great buy, the quality is fantastic. They are not lead shoes at 22 lbs but not forged light either, just purchased a set of Motegi racing wheels for the Mini at 17x8 and 15 lbs...
My machine shop that does some work for me said these were the best wheels they had seen in a while...
Just another alternative, especially if you want a set for R compounds for weekend work.<ul><li><a href="http://www.teamdynamicsracing.com/competition_wheels.htm">http://www.teamdynamicsracing.com/competition_wheels.htm</a</li></ul>
