Help Rootski overcome indecision, and other matters.
Well, I've finally got some money coming in, but before I go blow it on FI, I figure I've got some other issues to address first, mostly in the wheels and tires department.
I've had my eye on some new wheels for a long time. Basically I want sexy, light, and cheap... but of course, it's hard to find all three in one rim. I've narrowed my choices down to the OZ Ultraleggera- autoxer's choice, light as hell, but I'd pay more for it, and the Kazera KZ-K, a new rim from a bargain-basement brand, less than half as much as the OZ's, and just slightly heavier than stock. Most importantly they have the black with machine lip style that I love. Whatever rim I'm going to buy is going to be 18x8" and come wrapped in a new set of Falken Azenis RT-615's, so that's not an issue- but do I go for fast and light, or hot and cheap? Or, does anyone know a lighter-than-stock wheel that comes in black w/ polished lip and costs under $350 a corner? Let me know!
Next, I need new brake rotors and pads- my original stockers have reached the end of their short life. I'm looking to upgrade- is there a pad/rotor combo that anyone particularly recommends? I remember a package deal someone posted here not too long ago that included some cross-drilled rotors, anyone remember those? Basically I'm looking for something a little better than stock, without costing too much more than stock, you know, modest gains for modest money.
Oh, and if anyone has 17" wheels they can sell me cheap to throw some snow tires on, please let me know.
