Wow minus this hideous color combo the 17x7.5" are 7lb per corner lighter and would allow me to mount 215s... yet if I am going to pull the trigger on these... but that's a Yuge reduction.

I used to run on my old 7.5" wide BBS wheels. It was a perfect fit.
Could also overnight something like this.

Is it misfiring ? maybe run a Techron cleaner through it.Swedish Chef wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:18 pmP3106 - Cylinder 2 High Pressure Injector Low Side Circuit High
I was sure it’d be plug or coil, but injector?
Time to torch it.

I wonder if this is a precursor to the high pressure fuel pump going? That’s not uncommon on these.Swedish Chef wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:18 pmP3106 - Cylinder 2 High Pressure Injector Low Side Circuit High

Right, that’s what I was thinking first but I’ve never had issues starting it, or with the engine stalling.Apex wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:25 pmI wonder if this is a precursor to the high pressure fuel pump going? That’s not uncommon on these.Swedish Chef wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:18 pm

I have a set of plugs at home but there’s no boost and it’s sputtering bad so not too happy about the idea of limping it home 20 miles..

Torch it is then.[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:31 pmMight just be a bad injector. I wouldn't suggest driving it if that's the case, could melt down a cylinder that way.Swedish Chef wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 1:54 pm

Did you ever find anything?
I have a set of sparco pro corsa’s in 17 I ran on the mini. A little bit of curb rash on them, but I could work out a shipping quote. You could easily just pay $400 to powder coat them any color.

The main issue on the F56 JCW are the brakes, they are so fking massive that 9/10 wheels that fit the regular pooper does't fit the JCW. Also it seems like 205s are easiest to source and the rest is just forum hearsay... some say 215s work others claim 225, but it appears impossible to find out before going balls deep on it.

Yes, in matte black and a light coat of brake dust.

These were 17x7.5, wrapped in a 205/45/17 Potenza runflat. They were stretched a bit, and I could have gone 215 with no issues... but didn’t because a decent 215 runflat that wasn’t $300/per didn’t exist at the time.
Currently wrapped in a 215/45/17 hankook snow tire. They’re a 6/10 at best given the rash. Cover shipping and a bottle of gin and you can have them. Feel free to sweeten the pot with a second bottle if you choose.
I’ll head over to the storage locker and grab some pics this weekend if you’re interested.

Fook that is a very generous offer... I gotta think it over. I did want to go -1" and this is the most "scrooge" or logical way to do so... but given my state of mind I may off the car before it needs another set of tires, and it would make me sit on 2 sets of wheels + an entire exhaustfledonfoot wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 6:55 pmhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/fledonfoo ... ed-public/
