I personally have some TSW Nurburgring wheels and love em. Just wished I bought them after I went wide-body so I won't be forced to run spacers. Affordable, durable and pretty stylish.

Please priority rank the following:
1. Wheels/tires
2. Brakes
3. LSD
For wheels I was thinking either Enkei RP03 18X9 +18 F and 18x10 +22 R, or 5zigen fnc01 18x8.5 +15 and 18x9.5 +22 in silver.
Brakes - Akebono
LSD - Quaiffe.

Something I really considered before my car got raped in a parking lot and by a bicyclist is having the oem rear wheels (perhaps even front) widened. The process involves cutting the wheel around the circumference of the dish and inserting a strip of desired width. Gives you a stockish look and doesn't cost a sh*t ton. There are debates on the safety of this, but if you get a good shop/worker to do it (someone who's done it many many times) you shouldn't have an issue.

CCW widens rims. 150$ per inch per wheel. so i guess you could get to 9.5" with 300$ if you're willing to wait.
We understand you have track rims but are you just going to grandma drive the car when you're on the street? probably not. It won't be fun on tires that will have zero traction.

i've been running 275s on my stock 8" rims for a while now. Thats what i made 898whp with on the dyno for my 1st build and also drive on them with my current build.
The barely pillow and are just fine to mount. Way safer than that f'n stupid hellaflush sh`t.

Peer pressure is a bish. I didn't want to get overly aggressive so I ordered a set of Enkei PF01s 18x9.5 +15 on all four corners. Thinking I may run Nitto NT555s 285-40/18s in the rear.
Props to John at OAKOS Automotive. Wheels were in stock. Got them in silver. Thanks for the input guys. I will be safe now.
