Hello, Just bought a 2017 F-Type R in firesand! Its currently in transit form CA to PA. I have not even sat my butt in the seat yet and already trying to figure out what changes I would like to make first. Thinking about blacking out chrome and changing wheels. Not sure if I want to powder coat current silver gyrodyne wheels to black or get black tornado's. All I know is the next 4-6 days is going to feel like an eternity until I get delivery.

 

The first thing you should do is check out the tyres and if they are Pirelli P-Zeros (OEM fitment) with less than half new tread depth left on them you should junk them immediately and replace them with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
Literally hundreds of posts in the F-Type section saying "P-Zeros *****, MPS4S fantastic".
Especially on an R otherwise with P-Zeros the rear end will be all over the shop.

 

Welcome aboard Allen.

 

They are the original P-Zeros. The rears are just about shot and the front are about half new tread depth. I know I'm going to need new rubber very soon and that's why I had doing wheels at the front of the list. I figured if I was getting new tires that would be an ideal time to do wheel change. I have done some research already and know the Pilot sports 4s get good reviews. I am seriously considering the Firestone firehawk indy 500. They seem to get good reviews and about 25% cheaper.
