Default Victor Equipment Wheels & A little Zaino

SO I bought some VE wheels and weighed them...

Rears are about 25# and the fronts are about 22#. The wheels are actually made by TSW. I bought the Lemans Black wheels and although I'm happy with them, a few things deserve note...

I bought them through tires direct and ordered their Lug stubs... Got tuner studs that I'll be sending back. Not too impressed with the studs. I also am not happy with the center caps sent with the wheels.... They're silver, and the wheels are black. My Black and silver motif work with using my Porsche crest centers from the (Much lighter) factory hollow spokes (Which will replace my current track wheels!!!). I'm VERY happy with these wheels at $1320 shipped, including valve stems and lug install kit.

I also did Zaino on the car... I only used the Z2, Z5, Z8, along with washing and claybar, and although I HATE having to go thru all the processes of zaino (Will be using Z-AIO next) , the results are amazing!!!

Pics...

Car looks terrific
On dark cars, Zaino Rules!
It takes forever because of the many steps, but the actual application and removal is easy.

Car looks great, but not feeling the rims or the quad tips. What offset are those rims?

The Exhaust tips are going, as soon as I decide on a replacement system... The offset on the wheels is same as stock (I thought)!

Nicely done...looks great! Love Zaino on black...don't go back to Z-AIO after you've put coats of Z-2/Z-5Pro...Just keep adding Z-5/2Pro.

The turbos are UMW units. I need to get with Kevin on getting his tune installed, and getting rid of the Upsolute "Stuff"... I'm doing an exhaust system upgrade first, then will get Kevin's tune and possibly upgrade the seats and front brakes to 6 piston/14inch units... Then I'm pretty much done modding the car.
