    Default Wheels are finally in

    I finally picked up my wheels from the powder coating shop and I love them . It took them 5 weeks instead of the one week they had told me initially but they ended up not charging me for the job so I am a happy camper. Now on to the tires. Any suggestions in regards to the tires would be greatly appreciated. Looking for tires that do good in rainy conditions especially living in Florida .

    Good question....From what I can see your fenders look different from all the other models......so I can't honestly say yes for certain.........I have a 2014 RT ..BASIC...this has the old style fenders and I bent the fender brackets a little for clearance ( the front bracket )........Mike

    What's different about these than the one's in the catalog? http://www.publications.brp.com/doc/...2015090101/#94

    I actually looked at RS & STS wheels for my F3 but ultimately liked the Black Chrome and never ordered them.

    The only difference is the finish/ color. The ones i posted are actually the carbon black ones that came with my old 2013 st-s. The same exact ones showing on the catalog for the rss and sts. All i did is powdercoat them gloss black.
