Default Got My CCW's

18/19 combo with BFG tires as suggested by the folks (Chip & John) at CCW... those guys are all about service... the tires on the rear are so wide they stick out a little... it'll take some gettin used to but it looks pretty cool. Although the car is lowered on stock bolts it almost doesn't look it, it's actually sitting a bit higher that when I had the 17/18 combo, but with those wheels my air dam was scraping on a regular basis... definitely less worries with the somewhat higher stance of the car with the 18/19. I was thinking of 19/20 but chose a cool but more conservative look. Next is a front spoiler, then I'm looking into having the side graphics updated with a different look... the same graphics but done in a "ghost" stripe of deep cherry red... a lot more "stealth" & laid back... it could cost some $$$ so it may be a job for next year.

No problem with my being "mad", the car is evolving & every time I change something it seems to go in a slightly different direction than before... it'll go thru more changes by the time I'm done, I just want to be careful not to over-do it for my OWN taste... some guys like a car that is clean & stripped down, I like to have some fun... it's just a matter of taste.. glad you like it !

Looks great but I think you should give the wheels to me since you are not man enough for them

Wheels look great, but why would you get a setup that sticks out?
