I'm running Niche Turin M170s, front and back.
Nice ! Are these forged wheels? do you know the weight? Are they 19 F & 20 R or 20 All around? Thanks.
Your wheels are definitely more of the "FIVE-SPOKE" than mine:

Jimmy - they are cast and machined mono block aluminum. Don’t know how much they weigh. The fronts are 18” and the rear is 20”.
For your reference here is what 5 spoke old-school chrome (cragar) looks like.
Where did you get the Cragar wheels? I really like that look.
I worked with a local wheel shop. I made it clear I was looking for old-school fat spoke muscle car wheels. First name to come up was cragar, since they had work on getting wheels for slingshots in the past it was no problem for them getting the right fit for my sling. I am about to post the final look of my "batmobile", stanby

Super clean

wow.. and I thought I was the conservative one by going 19" F & 20 R, you sir stick with the original 18" F & 20R. Very Cool!
I asure you most of these cheap sub 2k big wheels people are adding on their sling are much heavier than stock.
I happened to drive a NA 2017 SL with 20" F & 22" R (told was cast wheels) and man, I had a hard time accelerating let's say from 90~100mph, took FOREVER....... guess the weight/diameter of the wheels and do matter

Absolutely. Honestly this should come as no surprise to anyone. The bigger the wheels the harder the rear chain has to work to move the motorcycle. The rental i drove with 18 inch wheels all around had better acceleration and pulled harder all around. The smart thing for performance would be to go 18 inch aftermarket all around or even 17s

So if there's drag race between a base model (17" F / 18" R) and a SL model (18" F / 20" R), given the fact they are all factory cast-aluminum wheels. The base model should outrun the SL due it's smaller / lighter wheels?

That, and the SL is saddled with additional luxury upgrades.
We may be slower getting there...
But, damn don't we look good pulling up!

Oh Hell no! That race is decided by the driver. Not a miniscule difference in equipment. You'll make a bigger difference skipping lunch that day...

Up to 70 MPH more or less sure. Once you are in that 4th gear those gigantic wheels make a big difference in acceleration.
