Default Another set of RH Wheels...

Well, I have been riding on the AL's I posted for about 2 weeks, but noticed that there was a problem at highspeeds with the handling. I went back to GMP Performance where I got them and had them installed. The owners were adamant about taking everything apart until the problem was resolved. We found a leak in one of the back wheels and the front wheels werent tracking quite right. They removed all four wheels and plan to work on them this next week. In the meantime they sent me off with 4 brand new MK dynamics that ride like butter. I have been a customer for a couple of years and was really impressed with how went the extra mile to make sure things were taken care of properly and I was happy.

Just an FYI...I am not in anyway affiliated with GMP Performance, just a satisfied customer. Kudos Stephen and Joe.

here are some pics of the MK dynamics for those of you who are wheel nuts like me...

you knew because you know. they do "match" the car a little better but i am not quite fond of the replacements either.

i think guards red looks great with some sort of silver mesh style wheel.

Good to hear positive comments re: GMP!

I'm planning on purchasing some SpeedArt' wheels from them.

Your car looks awesome!

I, too, like the new wheels better than the AL's. Much more befitting of the 997, IMO.
