New Wheels & Tires Installed
I just had my new MY 02 18" wheels installed this week. I purchased them from another R'Ler and I could not be happier. The transaction went perfectly and the wheels & tires were exactly as descibed. The wheels were shipped and delivered without incident by FedEx. Rennlist is a great place to be. Thanks 968TurboS!
I had the strut brace installed as well when I got the wheels mounted. The wheels came with Dunlop SP 9000's with about 300 only miles on them. I had H&R Springs and Bilstein HD's installed last year. I took a little 600 mile trip over the weekend and the car has never driven better. What a difference a few suspension and wheel mods can make to transform an already great platform. Nice to have new tires on this car, I was still running the PO's Sumitomo's and they were wearing very thin.
On my trip I managed to get a little over 23 MPG, and yes there were a few times that I exceeded the posted speed limit.

Thanks for the comments.
Cactus - The interior is Classic Grey
henrymug - Not sure about the weight of the wheels in comparison to the Cup II's, the feel at the steering wheel is very nice however. New tires make a lot of difference also.
J.A.W.S. - My first impression of the SP 9000's is that they are very quiet on the highway at speed, I will let you know as I get more miles on them. I like the tread pattern.
