Don't laugh. I wasn't after a high-performance wheel, but I got a set of Motegi Racing MR7's in silver. Seven spoke looks pretty nice on the Sentra. Nice clean lines, no funky edges or angles.
Wrapped in 205/40/16 Toyo Proxies FZ4's, bought them mounted, balanced and shipped to my house for $750 from Tires-N-Parts via their ebay store. Price also included a set of "tuner lugs"... donno what makes them "tuner"... other than the fact that they have those grooves around them so you have to use a special lug socket. (My mechanic will kill me tomorrow if I forget to tell him the socket is in the glove box)
They do produce a bit of a "singing" effect on the road that the previous Pirelli P3000s' didn't have. I'm guessing it's a characteristic of low profile tires.
Note how high the front end sits up off the wheel.... can you say.... JACKED UP???
EDIT: I just realized that you can see me through the front windows when my fiance took the pic. Funny.
lol dont take it personal but u kinda look like a 4x4 right now. hopefully with these springs u can work on that.
rob, TY for your future contribution to the pile of parts i have in my garage. its much appreciated!

I just put 1100 miles on the Road Magnets since yesterday afternoon and i gotta say, now that i'm used to the high spring rates, its a great daily driver.
With the AGX's set at 2f/4r the whole time, it was a real pleasure to drive.
We were transporting a new chinchilla back from ohio and both she and my girl fell asleep for a few hours (till we hit some of the really rough stuff).
Pitched my car over some of the gnarliest roads Ohio has to offer. Seriously some of those roads flat out suck. I was hitting crater after crater, cringing at what my new setup was having to navigate. I wouldnt NOT recommend them to ohio drivers (woo, double negative?!?!). Instead i would just recommend you not drive a car in Ohio.
I-76/70 through the mountains of Pennsylvania was AWESOME!!! Truly an amazing ride. Today i was caravaning with a c6 vette for 120 miles straight and we were having a ton of fun trying to lose eachother (him in the straights, me in the turns [not saying that my car handles better than a vette.. just sayin... it MORE than held its own.])
Had the opportunity to tackle some long twistys at a super secret off road location in the hills and the car was incredible at speed. 90+ MPH was just as civil as 20.
I have no problem driving this thing to and from work every day. Its definitely going to see plenty of autox and road courses. Maybe its because i'm still young, but i could deal w/ it as solely a DD.
Awesome!
I cannot wait to put these on my NX....perfect timing for the summer as well!
Thanks again for putting this together Rob, from what GA16Lucino is saying about the springs (and others), it will be only a short while until more people realize what a goddamn bargain RM Springs are! Especially for AutoX/Track fiends...

HAHAHA no man, I don't take it personal at all. I was looking for a good description for how messed up it looks, and that's perfect! Maybe get me some nubbies and go off-roadin' in my B14! HAH!
And yeah, Rob big upp's again man. Thanks so much for coming through for all of us with this project. I really hope this all takes off and there'll be many many group-buys to come for these.

Now THAT'S what I wanted to hear! Good road-trip story.
Good, because in September, we'll be doing a similar trip from Atlanta to Boston.
Already got my AD22FV upgrade installed yesterday, and it's an amazing difference when they're hooked up with SS brake lines as well. The new springs/shocks will REALLY make all the difference.
Hmmm.... you think B14 spings will start arriving at ppl's houses by the second week of June? That would be cool if I could get them on by the next Auto x !
you rule anyways rob!

The B13 springs did not get back today, so they are not shipping out today. hopefully by friday though. And I will know the status of the B14 springs by friday for sure as well.
Also for everyone out there waiting around, jump on this! It is all going to be done soon and I have some spots open. You will not find a better value for the money.
