I see in your galleries that you already have a set of custom wheels for it.
I was thinking a set of these in Race Gold would look right at home on the little beast.

It'll weigh about 2400 with me and a tank of gas in it. Do you really think I need more power than I can get from an LS2, Kooks and a custom tune?
