I am not much of a wheel whore but if I own a 30/40K car, I'm not putting a 1k wheel and tire package on it.

Not much new, been talking with Takeda about the intakes and my results.
Wheels are a tough choice, so many companies think you should spend 1k a wheel because they are light or unique or whatever. Though you have forgestar wheels that are light as stock, unique, and have a few options, all for 1500.

it'd be these if I did 5-zigen...but leaning against it right now



I REALLY like the AME tracer TM-02's in matte black or gunblack...but that 19x9.5 +22 front is going to need a serious drop to tuck right...see DannyGT's journal

I know what you mean. I was looking for wheels for my RX8 and I ended up getting some SSR wheels that ran me around 1500 w/o tires. Companies are just freakin greedy and know that it doesn't take all that much money and enginuity to make a freakin set of wheels.

problem with the 5-zigens is that there is no lip on the outer edge that can take a pin-stripe
