Finally got some new wheels on the car

I was wondering about that myself, as I am contemplating a further 70 or 80 pound weight reduction with carbon fiber wheels. Is the setting on those shocks selecting an alternate hydraulic circuit or is it modulating a flow valve. If the latter, a rheostat might be used to control the shock. If not, filling the shock with a different viscosity oil might accomplish what is needed. On my racing Bugeyes, I would fill the cantilever shocks with STP oil treatment to stiffen the suspension.

I found this doc on our active dampers pretty interesting. Only a bit off topic...

[QUOTE=Philly Single;1547088]Considering I couldn't get CCW to sell me some wheels, I went back to Jason Tung from GetYourWheels.com - I had been talking to him since April and he's been super helpful, good prices, great communication. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I ended up going with Rohana CFX5 wheels in matte black and I love them. Factor in the price and I really LOVE them and I even picked up a matching pair of 19's for the track
And I swear I could fit a set of 20x12's out back...I may try that in the Spring for kicks
Details:
old drag radials on 19x9.5: 64.42 lbs each with a 305/35/19 tire
new drag radials on 19x11: 60.39 lbs each with 325/30/19 tire
oem 20x9: 31.52 lbs
oem 20x10.5: 37.02 lbs
new 20x9: 23.99 lbs
new 20x11: 24.84 lbs
old lug nuts: 3.36
new lug nuts: 1.6
Overall I saved 41.18 lbs on the daily, not bad.
Onto some pictures:

That's really beautiful.
May I ask what the offsets and tire sizes are?
Thanks!
