New wheels mounted today. VMR V810 in sparkle silver. Nice and light, listed at 22lbs. Going to weigh one of them with the Super Sports mounted when I retorque the lugs in a couple hundred miles. Will be interesting to see how much my 1/4 improves with around 8lbs off each corner.

Hard to tell from the pictures but the sparkle silver looks pretty unique. It has some flake in it and looks a bit gunmetal in the right lighting.

Now I’m debating whether I want to keep the OEM 19" peelers and buy winters for those or sell them and stick with my 18" V708s… Really would miss the peelers.

Also, found out what the terrible screeching noise was. Rear sway was rubbing on the axle. Definitely did not sound pretty. Sway was switched to the looser setting and the noise is gone. Still, doesn’t seem like a sway within spec should do that.

Lookin good!

Funny you should mention that about the rear sway. Which one do you have? I had the shop install the H&R A6 rear sway on my S6. I ordered the A6 one because there was not one listed for the S6. The shop told me they could only install it on the STIFF setting, because on the other setting there were clearance issues. I assumed that it was just a problem because I was using an A6 bar on the S6. Maybe that is why H&R is selling them so cheap

Thanks! Yes to the H&R.

edit: Just saw your post on AZ. Shame they haven’t addressed this issue despite all of us having it.

Yeah, it is impossible that arent aware of the problem at this point. I guess they are just choosing to ignore

New wheels look great! Good stuff.
