I've been debating about buying new wheels and going square setup for some time now. I love our 135's and it's one of the reasons I bought the car. I have a '06 titanium silver convertible and the stock silver color is just too much silver for me. I don't want black, but something in the grey or anthracite category.
So here are my questions for you guys:
I know there is a performance gain by going with new, lighter, wheels, but I REALLY love our wheel style and am really thinking I am going to keep them. I am looking for anyone that will talk me out of keeping the stock staggered setup. So many people seem to be going square, but from what I have been told/read its more of a track thing, and I will never be racing my car. So stay staggered, or go square?
For the center caps, do you guys have the rears that are flat and the fronts that are sort of bubble out? I'm wondering if the PO lost a couple and bought 2 new stye ones for the front and left the flat style on the rear wheels? I'll try to put pics up later, but my rear "flat style" have like a lip of aluminum around the edge that isn't looking to nice. So maybe i just switch them all to the same. Anyone know the cheapest place to get them?
How about the M stickers, anyone know a cheap replacement, as I have a couple missing.
Is there a benefit to getting a kit like ECS sells for the wheel bolt replacement to studs other than ease of mounting the wheel easier? Here is what i found for $120, but its not like I am switching wheels all the time, so if that's the only benefit, then I will stick with my bolts I have now. I do like the black lug nuts though since I am switching my wheel color to a darker color.
I'm also getting new Michelin's as well and wanted to know do we have sensors in our wheels? I know there is that button under the radio, but honestly never read up on what it does. Can someone fill me in on what I might need to replace inside the wheel?
Thanks everyone!
