I like to drag race, so 20's are out of the question.

I've got Sport Package wheels, which should be about 22lb each. And I can't justify buying a $3k set of 19's (the only ones that would be 20lb or less). So 18's are what I might end up with.

and yes, i do remember the days when 17's and 18's were "BIG".

Illusion Violet coated base wheels are on and dayam they look nice... especially in the sun. Need to get some nice photos once my wife is off work, my BlackBerry won't do the color justice.

In for pictures of the wheels.

Teaser pics of one of the front wheels just in case I don't get to do a mini-shoot tonight:

I'd be proud to. This is my Evo when I was rocking some lime green SSR's last fall:

Indeed. My wife chose the color and it turned out well. I'm pretty happy with it. It looks absolutely bad *** rolling.

Thank you sir

I'm trying to decide between doing some custom intake tubes with some spare aluminum tubing and black couplers, or just getting some HPS silicone tubes in black. Those stock tubes have to go, but I'm not really interested in paying $500 for an intake that really doesn't do much.

You could just buy used (mine) and have them powdercoated.
