This is great, thanks for sharing. Def prefer the smaller wheels, it elongates the car visually for sure, and looks more proportional. My least fav view is the side view, because it looks toy-ish, but with the smaller wheels it now looks balanced. Also with 18's you get lighter weight, cheaper...

I think I'm in agreement with you...curious on 18/18 vs 19/19....I definitely like 19/19 over 20/20.

I was quoted $3500 for the lift and $1000 to install on Nitrons.

Agree, and if I had to choose between higher rev or more power, I'd take higher rev - to me the redline feels unnatural in a way that you need to watch the tach vs feel the engine peak out - I'd rather keep my eyes on the road and feel a natural power peak which tells my brain its time to shift...

Thanks for the photos - I'm a performance first type of guy and looks are always a very distant second, but I was curious if the 18's would elongate the look of the car (which I think looks squatty from the side view) - I think those 18's on the green car definitely stretch out the proportions...

I reached out to inokinetic and they were hoping by year end for a tune option.

I've considered lowering with Nitrons, sitting on 19's or 18's would help from that regard, but this move would be justified for better track use with the side benefit of maybe making it look longer...but that's in the future. I wouldn't make those changes just for optics, I don't care THAT...

To save 3%? Not worth it.

Would you say these wheels make the car look longer? I feel like when viewed directly from the side, the Emira looks too short - and I've wondered if the 20in wheel contribute to that. Your photos here make the car look perfectly proportional, wondering if its the camera angle or if the visual...

2,000 miles, no issues. Sport package on Goodyears, love how this thing drives and handles. It begs you to toss it around! I do get the SOS warning when I park in my garage which goes away if I'm out and about, so it's probably legit in saying it can't connect. I've had a CEL that has cleared...

Well, it's a terrible one, lol. Even supposed "good investment" cars, once you factor in maintenance and most importantly, opportunity cost. Buy a car you want to drive FFS! :D

I've been looking for a day to commit to. I used to track my Ducati/Aprilia but have never taken a car to a track. Do you need to buy a helmet or can you just show up? Do you need to bring extra gas? For beginners, I am assuming they run the same A/B/C class that they use for bikes? I could...

Agree-I used 20NM given other vehicles that I have experience with (where plugs have been stripped by careless techs) and that I used a mag drain plug that had fewer threads vs OEM; there has been no leaking. Over heat cycles they tend to settle further.

No reference to 911 (I'm coming from an Audi R8) but I've noticed on the Emira, later braking sharpens up the turn-in in a good way. This struck me when I was done with break-in miles and was able to accelerate more aggressively on the same roads, resulting in higher speeds and heavier braking...
