will this setup work?
this is what I have planned as my first modification(second being FI)
rims=TE37s 19/10.5 in rear 19/9.5 in front. will these fit ok?
http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/...modelName=TE37
on that page they give prices, but they seem low, using a currency converter it shows the 10.5 rims as 80000yen with a custom color, and thats 680$ US? I thought those rims were more like 800 or 900$?
and then the fronts are 650$ each. for a total of about 2660$ on rims. but it should probably end up being more around 3000$ right?
the next peice I plan on is a set of 15.1inch brembo brakes. I remember reading they would have them available. but here, http://www.brembo.com/applist/Brembo...ice%20List.pdf it only shows what I think its a 13.1inch for around 3000$. anyone know any info on the 15.1inch set? or fathom a guess? I assumed in the area of 5grand.
and then finally tread, I havent even looked here, I guessed between 800-1000 for a high performance set of tread to match this.
does this plan sound reasonable? Im taking a racing school at road atlanta in a few months, then after that I can go up there and tear it up for like a 100$ a day. I want to make this car into a track monster. I figure all of this is a good start then comes power from custom or greddy FI, and some suspension work, and finally weight reduction.
comments, problems, changes, questions?

Brakes
My tuning knowledge come mostly from magazines but 15" brakes sounds like total over kill. European Car magazine built a turbo E36 M3 w/ over 400 rear weel hp and used 14" disks. I think Brembo but possibly Stoptech. Anyway, they took the thing to on to multiple racetracks and experienced no noticible fade. The M3 was something like 3,500 lbs also. 15.1" disks would look great behind 19" rims but it is probably more than you could ever use. Just a thought. Of course there is nothing wrong w/ overkill!

hehe yeah your probably right, 13s would probably even do me fine, but I do like overkill. 15s are probably alot, but if they are even offered and are only 5000$ I think Id go for them, just to have. remember the picture of that mercedes sporting 15s under 19s, hehe, it looked sweet.
I still dont even know if I can find 15s at all, havent seen em for sale yet.
