Done. About the paint, what paint should i use? I was about to just spray it down with the black caliper paint i had, but i resisted. I plan on adding fogs behind the grill too.

Thanks man. Thats exactly what i was going for. I figured that my car sounds mean and the foose's are all pretty and shiny,just didnt go well.

Low profile tires are never going to have super great traction anyway partly due to less flexing of the sidewall (they're stiffer). There's a reason drag cars have small rims and a very large sidewall.
Nope, no reason. Purely for looks. I wanted that slammed/race car look, and im very please with the outcome.

I never was a fan of the fr500s myself, the black chrome got me though, and im very happy i did. & thank you.

p.s. i got a hold of matt and he is hooking me up, thanks nate!

They look AWESOME on the blue~!!!! Very nice choice..

I am sorry to hear about the tires......I wouldn't have thought they had that kind of issues with traction....

I do have the Invo's, and these tires are SUPER sticky. I used to spin my tires a lot with the torque tune I have, but once I got the Invo's that all but completely stopped. I couldn't believe the difference.

I do like the wheels....they look great!
Thanks saddle! Your the reason i started looking into these wheels!
