Sorry don't have fancy camera (Nokia N97) but thought I would share. Defintely like the way they look but the ride comfort is not the same (comparing with stock rims) even though I have brand new tires.

Great service from **********s.com!

Rougher. More noise. The tires are non-RFT. I actually have missed my RFT.

tires usually have a lot more to do with ride quality than wheels do, unless there is a big weight difference between the two wheels. And Noise has everything to do with tires.

what were the size/type RFT's did you have before, and on what wheels?

The RFTs are exact same size with the non-RFT. The old rims were original sport package rims.

These F14's are light. I think they're 17.6lbs each.

thats odd about the more noise. I switched from stock tires to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus and it is much smoother/quieter

These do look good...

Are the 18's hubcentric (I thought only the 19's fit 72.56mm hubs)? Did they come with plastic or metal centering rings?

I am really hesitant to consider these if they are not hubcentric, especially if used on the track (my need).

How would I know if it's hub centric or lug centric? Guess I didn't know the difference when ordering it.

They are a 74.1 and you will be provided with Hubrings.
