Wow, specs?

You really do go through rims like crazy, I can't wait to see these rims mounted. What are your other cosmetic plans? At least give us something (well, those of us that can use our imagination).

Nice, nice, and...NICE!

mwahahhahhaa, we will all know after this weekend? i will leave some tease for gsxotic we kinda spec the wheels together, i forsee it as a very nice setup

still a bit more work to be done this weekend, but i think it's going to look very nice

not sure yet, we will see after this weekend. these tires are brand new in japan and this is the first time gsxotic has these tires. he had always used the 702 before, which are the same tires on my sc430. honestly, between the 702 on my sc430 and the a/s on my gs400, i'd say my gs400 is a lot quieter on tire noise. but we will see how 703 goes. give gsxotic couple of weeks to bed the tires in i say

and i am pretty darn sure the 703 are a lot cheaper than the a/s. the a/s are expensive!

Thank you all for the nice comments. rominl answer some of your questions already. Indeed, more information to come as to my car... heehee tease.... but for sure don't expect any performance driven upgrade. I am a all show NO GO type of guy. Don't want to hang you guys dry but probably wont be able to post pictures of the car until it is truely completed.

can't wait to ride in your car later mark, want to see how those tires are. ritsa keeps on complaining about the tire noise on the sc430, which is indeed pretty substantial especially when the car is so quiet

finish up the cosmetic stuff and show us the pics!
