Konig, this picture was taken right after the wheels were put on from Discount tire. It's whatever they use. Honestly I prefer a slightly less glossy look on my tires. Thanks for the compliment. My 8 is only three weeks old, and I am having so much fun adding accessories.

Looks awesome! Those are the exact same wheels I have been looking to get. They're 19's right? What offset and tires size did you go with?

Kings8, my wheels are 19inch Ray's G-Games. 8.5 width 40 0ffset, 245/35/19 Yokohama AVS sport tires. Same size all around. I hate staggered wheels. The good thing is that Discount Tire company sells these wheels, and they finance if you want it. They are called Ray's G-Games 99B, mine are in gunmetal finish with a polished lip. Looks great, and lighter than stock wheels. They also come in a silver finish. They are a special order wheel. About $400.00 a wheel.

I don't really know much about what will fit ie offsets, tire size etc, so that was a big help. Did you get them mounted and balanced there to? If so, did they fit the TPMS free, or did they charge you?

Kings8, yea I don't even have my plates yet, lol. I like the 77's as well, nice wheel. Although a one piece wheel would be lighter. But there is not much weight difference between them. As far as the body kit, well when I bought the car I had the dealer order the kit at the same time. Yes, Discount tire mounted and balanced my wheels and also got free road hazard warranty and free rotations for life. No, there was no extra charge for mounting the tpms.

What was the weight on the Baracudas?
Oh, and did you intall the MS kit yourself, or did the dealer do it. If so, how much did they charge you?
Thanks.

Kings8, I am not exactly sure of the weight of the Baracudas( guess I should have had Discount weigh them before tire install), but I picked one up and it was way lighter than the 18" stock wheels. I had the dealer install my MS kit. I could have done it myself, but with the dealer install, you get a great warranty. Same as the car. I am not exactly sure of the price of labor either, it was included in the financing. Sorry I don't have any answers for you. Discount tire may know weight of wheel, I probably should find out. Anyway, take care.

I just got the baracuddas/99B G-Games wheels. Tires will go on this weekend and I will post pics. Anyway the 19X8.5 weighs 19lbs and the 19X9.5 is 20.5lbs. At least according to my bathroom scale.
