Well, my old wheels were the staggered Thruxton's (What Gary is rocking on his ride ... only mine were 18's )

I'm thinking about these Zenetti Stella in Black -- staggered 19x8 and 19x9.5 ...

They look like the Mod Axis 7's I wanted back in the day. Then everyone started getting them

Similar, but 7 spoke...

But like Armin mentioned, there's something about 5 spoke wheels that i like--clean and simple... i dunno, maybe its just me.

Gil, were you able to follow that link? It is your song. I think you should copy it to a disk and have it as you theme song.

Yea but they don't get there until late and I need my beauty sleep - If we have ours from 7 till 9 then I can come for a little while unless you want to hold it tomorrow night?

(But the appearance package also offers a little more down force)

I was waiting for some of the Cali guys to post their dyno plots before I mentioned this but Jeff was seeing 20 to 30 hp increases in n/a cars by installing the Cobb AP. Now that required tuning on the dyno so keep that in mind. The Cali dyno was reading very low for some reason even for a Mustang.

So any of you guys on the "let's wait and see" list can know that you will gain somewhere between 20 & 30 horsepower, better mileage on the highway (can't help you much in town), better cooling, higher redlines, removal/lack of any pesky cels and just an overall better operation.

I've heard some of you say it's expensive but watch you add marginal stuff at near the price of the AP for little if any hp increase.

I am arranging for Jeff to come to Vegas (as soon as he can clear up a date) to tune my car on the dyno and there is no reason that he could not do others at the same time. He was not able to do the earlier date but I'll nail him down. As soon as I nail him down I will again set a Dyno Day event.
