Thanks for all the compliements!!! I will post a reply on performence and feel in a few days. The tires need some time to break in. So far i notice the car sticks better in corners, this should get even better as they break in. I wasnt planning on getting fender strakes but now i think that will look great, What do you guys think? The tires were $250ea, through Tire Rack (GREAT PEOPLE). The rims i ordered though a local shop and they were $611ea. I know i could have gotten them cheaper online but i really like this local shop and they could get me them fast.

Thanks John...
Do your wheels take the sensors? What sort of rotors are those? And lastly, does the chg in wheel/tire size affect your mileage and/or speedo reading, or is it the same overall size are OEM?
Very nice!

No, the sensors will not fit, disappointing but oh well. The diameter of the tire is the same as stock, no speedo differance. Rotors are Rotoras, got them through Vivid Racing.

You are aware with those MOTEGI DP5 you'll be running LOWER than stock widths. 18"x7.5" as opposed to even STOCK is 18"x8. This will greatly affect handling.

Oh, and a half inch width difference won't greatly affect anything. Tire width is much more directly affective to handling. IMO of course.
