Super sports are a far better tire.

Looks pretty good and goes nicely with the theme of the car I'm surprised those H&R coilovers can slam the car that low. Personally I would have gone 19s though

Those wheels look good. But I'm not a fan of things that are made to look like something they're not. Which limits my options of course. For instance, I was thinking of CF spoiler and intakes and side mirrors - but they're prohibitively expensive if they're actually MADE from the stuff and not just wrapped. I can't even fathom how much pure CF wheels would run!

I've never seen that front bumper before. Have you considered blacking out the intake slats? I think it would compliment the black accent thing you have going on even better.

There's only one all-CF wheelset made currently, by Carbon Revolution. They are $15,000 for the set, as I said above.
