Pics of new wheels and tires
I put my new wheels and tires on and washed the car yesterday so I thought I'd share some photos:
I weighed the stock setup - hollow spokes with Sumitomo HTR ZIII's in stock sizes: 58lbs rear and 48 front.
Then I weighed the new setup - Champion 18" RG5s with with Michelin Pilot Sports in stock sizes: 48lbs rear and 41 front.
You can really feel the difference behind the wheel. Car feels more agile.
Also, at Edwin's suggestion, I installed the clear turn signal bulbs and there's no more orange in the headlight housing. I like it!

At Edwin's suggestion, I bought them from here: http://www.xenonmods.com/
Click on "7507" on the top left. You need the 7507's in chrome/orange and the chrome/red in the rear.

Looking good, bro! Do you have any plans to install coilovers? I think some PSS9/10's would really tighten things up, not to mention the car would look killer on the Champions!
Well done.

Thanks Adam! A suspension has been on my mind for a while now (since my first track day). I'm on the prowl for a nice used set. My only hesitation is that, if you look closely, my front lip spoiler is already cracked. I constantly encounter steep driveways, speedbumps and potholes, so I'm a bit hesitant to go any lower.
New Lip spoiler is on the way, BTW.
