My opinion, for performance, keep the 17s with 245/45s and some DD with 315/35s out back.

For looks, get some nice 18s 255/35s up front, and accordingly for the rears whether you get DD or not.

Racer02, didn't you say that the color didn't match up with the stock anthracite and the a/m anthracite though?

yeh need to get some for my side markers but as you guys can see my 3rd brake light looks owned by the sun... =( any suggestions on what i can do to get back the new look?

i think your car would also be complimented with some of the black headlights and maybe even a grille delete or take the corral and paint it white...

I bought a sheet of 5% tint from Pep boys for 10 bucks and tinted my 3rd brakelight and sidemarkers. Its BS to spend $70 on precut tint.

yea... the a/m ones are slightly darker... it bothers me so eventually when i need new tires up front, im going to change the rims too.. also the a/m ones have a highly polished lip compared to stock.

i think i'll stick with 17's. I'de rather perform better than get an inch bigger, and ill save some cash doing it anways. I know im gonna have some probs with the stock sizes out back when i get my gears, so the 10.5s will work nicely.
