LC855 - New Wheels Checklist? Hey,
I'm picking up a set of Linea Corse LC855 wheels (19x8.5 front, 19x10 rear). I assume that I'll need to get a set of TPMS, and I'm aware that I may need to get a new set of trailing arms, but I'd like to hear any nuggets of advice that members of the forum picked up from experience. Any tire recommendations? Unless someone says otherwise, I'll probably pick up a set of g-Force T/A KDW 2s or Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110s.
Thanks for anything you've got.

Thanks for the feedback, both of you!
Cadzila, why are you running 40% profile tires in the front and 35% in the back? After numerous searches, I was already planning on going with 285s in the back. Looks like you've got some serious camber on the back wheels there--don't you think that's the source of the rubbing problem? Beautiful car, though. With the new trailing arms, do you think you could do 305s?
I've already rolled my fenders--I had to after installing the Ground Control kit and lowering the car. This is mine (doesn't show the tinted windows):
Glad you can migrate the TPMS. Did you have to recalibrate them? I'll probably wind up lowering the car a little more as well. This spring, I'm having the front fascia completely repainted and the license plate holder professionally removed and the holes patched up.
One more question: what paint did you guys use on your brake calipers? I'd heard horror stories about certain types of paint peeling. Do you think I should stick with silver, given my red car, or something else?

I called WheelDude asking about getting a set of these a few weeks back and was told they were discontinued. Maybe this is bad info, but it is what I was told.
If anyone else is interested in a set, you may want to check before getting you mind set on these.

Wow, what a blast from the past. After rand49er (and two other people, IIRC) identified that their LC855s were cracking, I went looking around for something that looked like a Breyton GTS-R.
Eventually, I ran into Peter at Forgestar, and the rest is history.
By the way, the new website and forum are coming along steadily. Philistine and I are working in our spare time to build a great home where we can all showcase our projects and develop advancements for the V1, V2, and V3 in a place that encourages collaboration, allows DIY projects to flourish, and pays bounties for wanted developments. It also covers the ATS-V and the STS-V, so if you know anyone with one of those cars (or will be buying one), let me know.
