Brought the new ride home last night. Now I'm half way through the break in.

 

It hit 60 today so I got to ride around with the top down.

 

Had an open stretch of highway and got to 106 @4000 rpm in 6th gear. Minimal turbulance with the top down.

 

is that liquid aluminum? looks sweet. so, you gonna be coming to the meet on the 13th? you should roll. what did you do to get 18's on the roadster. i bought a touring roadster and it only came with the whack 17's. what's the deal with this?

 

18" wheels are a $1200 option on the touring

 

liquid aluminum looks nothing like that. That car is silverstone and brand new. LA is actually white silver. Very close to chromesilver but even lighter.

 

It's SS/BO. The 18's were an option ($1200). I should have gone with the 17's and used the $1200 for new shoes. Probably won't come to the meet. I have to work that weekend and they are tough to trade.

'04 350 ZR 6MT, SS/BO w/18's, NAV

 

that color looks like it changes in different light. so sick!

 

Beautiful ride. The ventilated seats feel so great with the top down.

You'll grow to like the 18s. At least I did. I ordered mine with 17s but one with one came in early with the 18s and I jumped on it. I'm really glad I did. It looks great.

 

Agreed!! 18" look good. Better than 17's IMO.

 

I'm with you guys. I picked my ZR 8/7/03 & they only had the 17" available at the time. I gave $1100 (shipping included) for a nearly brand new set of 18" w/tires (no curbing & tires still had the 'nipples' on them), so I made out better than if I bought at the dealer with the $1200 option. I'm not one to put crazy/aftermarket wheels on though (just my preference, no offense to anyone that has them). I'm thinking of selling my stock 17", but I know they don't bring much $.

 

I have the auto. I've had it to 122 MPH w/top down & windows up. I was surprised at the lack of extreme wind in the 'cockpit'. The wind screen seems to really help this.

BTW, the Silverstone looks good. Enjoy the new ride!
