Wheels mounted and installed.

Nooice. Beautiful wheels.

I have a couple questions.

* Did you remount the OEM Michelin PS 4S tires onto your fresh "Go 25s"? ... Or did you buy all new shoes?

* What is the weight of each G025 wheel in the 19x9.5 size?

Thanks!

I have a couple questions.
* Did you remount the OEM Michelin PS 4S tires onto your fresh "Go 25s"? ... Or did you buy all new shoes?

I bought a spare set of OEM tires from another forum member that switched to all seasons shortly after buying their FL5. I had to go to a used tire shop to get them installed since most places will only mount brand new tires. The used tire shop would only install if I used standard valve stems so I have the Ray's aluminum valve stems as a spare to use for the next set of tires.

* What is the weight of each G025 wheel in the 19x9.5 size?

For the 19's, wheel weight is ~9.2kg (20.28lbs). OEM wheel weight is ~12.1kg (26.68lbs) whereas the OEM forged wheel weight is ~9.67kg (21.33lbs).

OK, wow, so that puts the G025 at a full pound lighter than the Honda forged wheel.
Very nice!

Ordered and next to be installed:

1. Dixcel M pads (Front and Rear)
2. Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 275/30R19
3. GiroDisc Front and Rear Rotors
4. Origin Fabrication Coolant Expansion Tank (Anodized Black)
5. Wunderladen Rear Brake Caliper Bushings
6. Wunderladen Front Strut Locks

I decided not to install the MDR aluminum coolant tank. I'll list it for sale on the forum later for $200.00 shipped.

Hi.

I ordered the same Expansion Tank from Origin... a couple months ago... September I think... or was it August? Been long enough that I have forgotten.
Still haven't received notice for shipping yet.
Not sure what the time frame is supposed to be, but I think my batch was supposed to ship last month... October.
I am pretty sure that these tanks are made in small batches, so I don't want to badger the guys over at Origin.
Just sitting on my thumbs a bit over here.

Yeah, you need to be a bit patient with Origin since it is a one man run shop. Quality of parts offered is top notch but communication could improve.

You can always email and ask for a status check. I got mine back in August/September and I sent an email to get a status check and was told it would ship out in a week.

Ok thanks y'all.
I didn't know it was only one dude running a solo shop. Impressive.

So... speak of Sonny McFlanghole...
a.k.a.,
what some of you may call "the Devil"...

I got an email today (Nov. 12, 2025) from Origin Fabrication notifying me that my package has shipped.


I guess that means I ordered it in August.

EDIT:
Also. An old '80s commercial from Heinz Ketchup...
"The best things come to those who wait."

Cheers.

Daaannng. Takin' it BACK.

I love Pulp Fiction. Have it on Blu Ray. Just haven't watched it in a long time, and totally forgot about the Fox Force 5 tomato joke...

Or did I?

I think I totally forgot it, but maybe subconsciously, I did kinda remember it?
