Thanks! Actually had a guy in a fully modded, fully sponsored 350 back up and tell me he liked MY car! And here I was seeing his car thinking WOW! his car looks awesome!

To have him do that was really cool! ;) He specifically said:

Im really feeling the aggressive stance and the rims and tires!

Props to you, Ryan! :tiphat:

Haha, nice man. Your car definitely turns heads.

You're the one who said you wanted the most BA set of wheels available.

I'm just glad you liked my suggestion ;)

^ Agreed! Its all about the balance, class and thought that make a car come together, not about the extra few whp. If its a race car, build one... if its a car you drive on the street, enjoy it because that is what its all about. Once you get sick of driving it, part it out... strip it out, build the motor and TT that beast and itll be new love all over again.

my opinion.

First of all I want to personally thank Jerkey for putting his a$$ out there on the line for all of us! I hope you come back in one piece. I have lost a life long friend over there in that f**king s**t hole god forsaken place!

Anyway, back on topic;

For 5K, put a nice stereo system in the car, you wont regret it.

Cold air intake and a CB exhaust for power ups. If you dont mind it loud add some HFC's in there as well as they will increase the power big time.

I went with Stillen because they gave me a huge discount when I bought everything from them plus my dealership trusts Stillen and they honored my warranty and installed all my parts.

You do realize that paying 5k for wheels + tires is silly? No one ever pays that much... RE11s are what 1200 for all 4s at most... so you paid 3800 for wheels? OUCH man... those better have been custom offsets... lol

volks are easily 3k plus, and some of the best made wheels you can buy.

You're not looking into it correctly. First, the tires mounted and balanced cost more than that, then there are the TPMS sensors which are $450, most 1 piece Volks go for around $3500. They are worth it to most.

very true if the OP is after spanking new parts.
the car is still relatively new so used parts might be a little scarce.
wheels would be easy to find used though... and due to the economic predicament that we are in, most sellers are more than willing to negotiate.
