    Re: Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?

    Yeah I'm not a fan of colored wheels either Monica, it seems they're colored just to be colored, plus its usually plasti-dip anyways, cheap. A buddy of mine had some nice wheels on his S2K and had them powder coated tuquois, his car was silver and it looked AWESOME!

    Thanks for the compliments Monica, I appreciate it, just hope I'm able to pull this mod off now

    Its going to be a couple monthes till I'd be doing this, but when Uncle Sam comes through, I'll pull the trigger! The wheels weigh 16.5 lbs and although I'm no snoob on what a wheel weighs, I know its an improvement in performance too!!

    Re: Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?

    Now I have a dilemma, do I go for the red, 5 spoke wheels to use as my 3 season set up which give the car a very unique and custom look that ties into my stripe theme OR do I get a Forge FMIC to giv the car more POWAAH🚦

    I could get some cheaper wheels to put on my snow tires come next fall if I go with the FMIC and I'd have a complete 3 season and winter set up then.

    The red, 5 spoke wheels are only 16.5 lbs which are about 5 lbs lighter than my stock forged wheels, so that too would be an upgrade to performance in and of itself. I've never had a real light weight set of wheels and I'm thinking about damage as its my DD.

    What do you guys/gals think ?

    I avoid really light wheels because of damage issues. But that's just me. YMMV!

    I have $1000 to blow, urrrr, I mean spend. Not sure when my buddy back home is going to get rid of his Abarth because he just added an intake to it, he's really bit or stung by the Scorpian for sure! Its only a matter of time and his FMIC and larger TB would be for sale, I just have to wait.

    Maybe because I just turned 45 2 days ago but I'm leaning on the side of being safe, not to mention the stock wheels look great! I've also been into perf and I want the car to have even more powaah! Once it's in your veins it doesn't go away no matter how old you are (I was in remission with the last 2 Honda's before the Abarth)
