Last weekend I decided to change the look of the car slightly. Since I put springs on the car I didn't like the stance of the car with it's current wheels and since I added the Off-Road Xpipe I wasn't happy with the sound either. Last weekend I ordered a new Magnaflow axle back from Christy (Ponygrrl) at Lethal Performance and new wheels and tires. I am picky when it comes to wheels and preffer OEM wheels. I decided to go with black GT500's with GoodYear Eagle F1's. I got the wheels from Buyfordracing.com and the tires are from Tirerack. The pics are crappy because it was the first time using it. This is the happiest I have been with the car's stance and the pics do not do it justice. The car also sounds the best it ever has.

Dude that site rocks. When I burn out my tires I think i'll just get a set of their takeoff GT500's turns out cheaper in the long run.
