I was wondering, Is your speedometer thrown off at all? Or have you noticed any difference in performance while accelerating?

RECENTLY ADDED 12INCH ANNIVERSERY EDITION JL SUB POWERED BY A JL 500X1 AMP IN A CUSTOM ENCLOSURE WRAPPED IN CARBON AND AUBURN VINLY WITH PLEXI. AUXILARY INPUT WITH IPOD ADAPTER.
i understand thats some people dont like certain things or looks. so be, it different strokes for different folks. but calling me ghetto or my car is another thing. its actually just plain rude. i didnt put my pics up for u to leave rude comments, just comments. the ones who didint, thanx i appreciate it. but the ones who did, i sell wheels for a living so giving my customers different options on what i do and can do makes me money and in turn pays for my 3 houses, 6 cars and 6 figures in the bank. i dont know of to many ghetto people that have that. so in turn ur opinion is ur opinion and it is what ur entitled to but take it easy. people spend alot of time and money on there cars its there choice on what they want to do. thank u for ur time.

the speedo is off but not by much i believe its of by about 5 mph @ 65mph. performance isnt too bad since the wheels are forged so they are pretty light. but its great in the turns since the tires are so thin.

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
not my cuppa for practicality and style reasons, but they definitely make the car stand out.
Makes sense, especially with the business background. Most UK roads would be the natural enemy of these.
