Default Wheels, tint.......does it ever end?

Well, last week I had my windows tinted & a nice 3 stage polish done to the body. Today I bought a set of HRE wheels from another forum member.......when they arrive, I plan on lowering it on the stock bolts. Where will it end?

This pic isnt my car, but its the actual wheels that I bought & my car is also a TR Z06. Essentially, this is what my car will look like....I cant wait!!

Nope, it doesn't end. You better get a second job at Bucksking Joes as a gunfighter to support your new "habit!"

I'm not really the cowboy type!! Luckily, my business is thriving this year again, so the mods can continue. I have been thinking along the lines of a SC and hedders for next year........
