Looking for a lug nut recommendation for running S550 (PP1) wheels on a S197 car. I know the thread size needed, but not sure about the angle of the lug to mate against the wheel. I had heard that the factory S197 lugs won’t work (don’t fit against the wheel properly). I know it’s been done...

All 350’s have a two piece aluminumum shaft.

I’ve been interested in the exact same thing. Haven’t found anything where it’s been done yet though. Post up if you discover an easy solution with the sensors.

Anyone running S550 PP1 black wheels on a ‘11-‘12 body? How do S550 wheels work out on a S197 car in general?

Wow...totally disagree. Are you making these statements in regards to the DS’s or the new Sports?

Fact.

Do I believe that? My personal opinion, based on how I've broken every new car (high performance or otherwise) and bike I've ever owned (which includes two brand new Ducati's that went straight to the track) vs the outcome of said vehicle...absolutely!

Hilarious. I'll tell you this much...there are more post and threads running with guys that are hard core track junkies with no problems than there are guys who coddle the shit out of their car with no problems. And I'm also including guys who went straight from the dealer to the track.

I have the Conti Sports on mine 305 & 325/30 on R spec wheels. No track, but love them on the street. I personally don't see where they give up anything to the Michelin in any category...again, on the street. I will even add this; my car tramlined like a mofo on some freeways around the...

Everyone has already said enough about 1 vs 1 on this topic, thus the moral of the story...DO NOT be scared to run the helloutuvit and enjoy the ever living snot out of this amazing car for some silly fear of something.

This is a great statement! You'll hear quite a few guys bag on ceramic pads and how much braking capability you'll lose with them...on the track. On the street, who cares. If you're fading a quality ceramic pad on the street, even some aggressive mountain driving, you're probably being an...

hahahah...sorry guys, I couldn't resist. I love break in discussions about as much as a good oil discussion!

What is this "break in" thing you guys keep talking about?

Couple points to add to this topic...all tires are NOT created equal across the same size. There are huge variations between manufacturers. Tob has Conti EC's in his pics. Relevant because the Conti's run narrow for a 325. They fit more like a 315 on that 11.5" wheel, which is ideal for...

I went shopping to get white/blue stripes, but if they had had grabber blue, to this day I'm confused on what I would have done. I don't regret my purchase, but if backed into a corner, I'd probably have to say grabber blue (no stripes/black roof) is my favorite color.
