1st of all, your car looks amazing. I love the saleen 1/4 windows on it and the grill with the foglights set behind are amazing. What % tint are u running?

The rims look great but they would be even better if they were black. Does your friend have a black car too?

The new wheels do look pretty nice. It's amazing how a couple of inches in the wheel make the whole car look so much meaner from the rear than the stock tires.

I have a set of 295/35/18's on the rear and the look is just awesome. Suprisingly the ride is still pretty good too.

The taller tire also changes the gear ratio. If your stock gears were 3.31...they're now more like 3.01...give or take. I always did like the look of big 'ol meats on the rear.
