When I hit hard bumps as you say, I'm definitely hitting the bumpstops. The sportlines are great on smooth tracks, but on road blasts or ANY california roads (especially near Nico's

) I find the bumpstops hard on that car.

Well, I'm not sure. I'll slap my gopro on the side, and on the undercarriage to see if I can recreate the noise. I don't see any circular mark on the inner quarter, nor on the inner quarter lip. I'll check the bumpstops. Probably not til Thursday as I've been working every day.

I kind of wish they would do a bronze finish like TSW has.

You can ask them, they show a variety of finishes on their site. I think a white set of F14s on a Kona or other dark colored car would be unique and interesting.

It'd be different. That's for sure.

The new titanium finish looks very similar to the color of the Brembo wheels. I think it would be a great choice as well.

I would love to see the pony caps fit. By far the best center cap available currently IMO.

x1000 I would buy those without a second thought. Please forgestar make them in black chrome. When the GT-R first came out you could get black chrome wheels, looked soooo good

I wanted to get the titanium finish originally, but they discontinued it at the time, looks like they brought it back.

Havent had time to recreate the noise, its been raining heavily.
