wheels are too conservative for that bodykit. throw some spacers on there and drop that ****. what's up with that huge sidewall? i would've stretched a 245/40 or 255/40 on that 9.5 rear.

Good reason to get rid of the Hiros. Those things crack like no tomorrow. I guess you can't beat free, but I would sell these rims to replace that rear skirt and get some other wheels

Rick, you don't like the Veilside V3 Rear? Quick question.. where'd you get your CF Doors? Was it a ***** to install? Did everything from the OEM door have to come off...?

My sponsorship contract is up in december, we'll see then.. in the meantime I might go bling 22"s lmao.

Hehe, yeah a bit wild for me I got the doors from http://www.aitracing.com. Talk to John and tell him that I sent you.

Abount install, they installed it for me on the spot prior to leaving to SEMA, but I did witness that it is time consuming. I took everything off since I wanted max weight savings, but it looks like the components from OEM will work.

Hey, I thought the cracking Hiros was a thing of the past? Supposedly a bad batch a year or so, or something like that? Ya mean they're still doing it? Uh-oh . . .

The wheels look pretty nice but I think with that bodykit you need something much more aggressive looking.
