TT2s are straight pimping..........but I love the look of your car ritz, but some TT2s that have powdercoated spokes would look awesome on your car.

That's exactly what I'd like to do, but I'd rather buy a set with screwed up spokes or something because I don't have the heart to powdercoat over a perfectly polished wheel.

I did that and I kicked myself in the *** for it. I had a "clearcoat" powdercoated onto raw polished Z06's and they came out looking dull then the "clearcoat" cracked and the guy was gonna put a "chrome" powdercoat on it. Needless to say I lost about $400 bucks b/w powdercoating and selling them to my dad for cheap because they look like old silver Z06's now.

FM5s are very nice.

But if I had the money I'd be all over some iForged Aeros, 18.9s up front and 18x10.5 out back.

But I don't have 4,000 dollars to spend.

I'm sure it is. A friend of mine bought 17" Classics (not sure of the widths), but they were custom offsets for his MR2 and paid $2800 with Tires (Toyo Proxes).

I bought mine from Sam Strano who helped guide me on my entire suspension.
Guy knows his shocks and spring rates, also has probably the best sway bars out there for our cars.

Well I think I may go with Bilstein HD's. We are direct through Bilstein at my job and I can get the front's for $68 a piece and rears for $51 a piece.

Thanks for the PM though man.
