Thanks for all the kind wordss everyone! I'm gonna try and enjoy the car (and the house) a lot more since it's all finally nearing completion 
Sorry they took so long, but I knew it would be a bit of a wait, right? 
GEEZ US!
Patriclus?! You live! It's great to hear from you mang! Thanks for the compliments... I hope everything is going well for you and Julie... you gotta call me so we can catch up?!
Thanx Juan -I have a few more things to do to the garage.... so I'll have some pix up as soon as everything else arrives and get's installed.
Bhai --- almost... maybe one more thing?!

Great looking rims and tires and I love your garage floor! I have to ask you this question - you knew someone would ask you this question: Did you weigh the rims and tires before you mounted them? If so what were they each (or each rim/tire combo combined). Also you mentioned you love the handling but did you notice if your car felt more sluggish due to the extra weight of rims/tires? Do you feel you can hit the curve much harder? Can you accelerate much harder since you have much more traction available? I am looking to replace my rims/tires this spring so any info would be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

These weigh less than the OEM + EMT's.. I don't know how much, but I know me and my tire guy noticed when we loaded them in the truck. Do you feel you can hit the curve much harder? Abso-freakin-lutely! Can you accelerate much harder since you have much more traction available? I'm not real hard on my car.. but yes... the little bit I have done.. it's a much smoother launch
