yea for sure man, the way i see it theres no reason to be running around with 3-4k worth of wheels n tires unless ofcourse you have the money then go for it, i wish i could afford some hre's, iforged or something but its hard to beat oewheels price and theres way better things that you can do with that much money like a rear end motor etc, im very picky on wheels, i get a lot of compliments on the ones i purchased and they were like $500 new. dont see many cars with them
yea a rear end is hopefully in the near future,

damn nice work but your version or budget must mean no WIFE, no kids, no other kind of drain on your bank account other than what you need to skimp by on..otherwise i have no idea how the hell you are affording all of this...but I LOVE YOUR CAR...i dont normally dig on red cars but that is pretty damn nice so far and only appears to get better..
now just curious what did you BUY the car for initiallY?
