The borla's sound great, I personally like the S types more and they're surprisingly not all that loud but have an excellent tone.

For wheels, I personally would skip Niche. Gravity cast heavy wheels. We had some on display for MW and they were honestly heavier than stock. I'd look at the new Velgen VMB9's. Just much better quality overall.

For colors, I really like gunmetal on black or silver. Black on black is too washed out in my opinion.

Thanks for the info on Niche. I definitely wouldn't want to go any heavier. I'll check out the Velgens. I might just stick with Forgestar. Lots of options and plenty of time at this point.
I haven't heard the Borla touring in person but from the clips I like the smooth throaty sound.
The s types seem to by a bit raspy and blatty from the clips.
Thanks again and will definitely be in touch when I need some parts.

I have Borlas and love them, Larry (Shellback) has Borla S-type on his. They sound awesome, no rasp and no drone.

I think the difference in the ones I have heard on line has been a resonator or cat delete.
With an offroad H pipe or full cat back system I think the S-types get raspy.

So what does a Stock 19 x8.5 wheel weigh? Lets say a 2013 GT/CS style wheel?
