Default Mounted the R28s with SP9000s

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/7894/ls2.jpg"></center><p>Mounted my 17" R28s with the Dunlop SP9000s weekend before last. Turned out to be one week early since it snowed a couple of days last week.

The handling is much improved and of course the ride is somewhat more harsh. I prefer it to my old '91 200Q with bilsteins and Eibach springs. Doesn't corner as flat, but the ride is much more comfortable.

I'm planning on installing the heavier rear sway bar to reduce the body roll. Hopefully next week.

Default The R28s seem to be heavier than most wheels....

does this affect handling to any degree?

Thanks!

They're also much stronger than most wheels. Good for those in the NorthEast!
