Shes only 2 weeks old, but I'm loving her. I've been doing some baseline performance numbers with my iPhone app. I am positive that I am limited by the stock All-Seasons. I've been able to pull .85 lat G, .8 acc G, and some 6.8 ish 0-60 times. I know there is another .5 0-60 to knock off with better tehcnique and tires. C&D got 6.3 and I think that is fair. Waiting on suspension bits and looking for some lightweight but good looking wheels.
 
:wave:
I noticed they didn't mention whether they tested the 2012 Si with summer tires or not. I would wager their test car had the dedicated summer tire option though.

suspension bits are in the wings. Seems like there will be a number of options to choose from in the next 60 days or so (from recent updates). Any specific wheels you have your eyes on?
 
There are a few, but I am a big fan of lighter weigh for reducing unsprung weight. These aren't as light as I wish, but they are under 20lbs and have a strong 7 spoke look that I like. I wish they were more of a darker gray than silver though. My horrible photochop to simulated lowering.

I'm sure you know how to filter by weight on tirerack..?.. enkei does have some of the lighter wheel offerings.
in 17's
pf01's are 15.8lbs.
rpf1's are 14.6lbs.
Enkei Tuning Fujin are 17lbs.
OZ also has some ligher wheels on their site, but you may also be looking for a specific style/look
 
Yeah, It's my taste in style that's the problem. I'm very picky. I don't like style of most of the lighter weight wheels. Trying to find a balance between look and weight. The Imolas aren't bad. I'm going to do springs or coilovers first then I'll get some wheels. I actually really like the stock Si wheels. I just wish they weren't so heavy.
