Finally...The wheels are on!!!
it's been a long road, but as of noon today the GT3's are officially on!!!!
Overall, i think they look really good. Actually i think they look "too" good, and might distract a little attention from the car. My initial plan was to have them completely powder-coated black. I think i will still do that after these get boring....give it that sinister look
.
What's most impressive however is the tires i got. My stockers were wrapped in Sumi's HTRZ II or something of the sort (bought it with those). They were ok...so i thought. The new GT3's are wrapped in Bridgestone potenza re050a Pole Position's. These things are amazing!!!! I did some high speed cornering that normally made my old tires start to sing, but these PP's were solid!!! not even a chirp....In fact i wasnt even able to make them chirp. My hats off to the bridgestone folk's......i'm very impressed!!!!!!
Thanks for all the help!!!! especially redridge and madcat

These guys love to spend your money... you should do the plennum, the 3.4 responds to it pretty good.
Great job, love the yellow calipers, bridgestone are next best to Mich IMHO... Post pics of the SUBS!

The subwoofer project got put on hold when i accidently torched the amplifier

I love it, PM me
Can you please let me know if yours are 18" or 19" and how much did that set you back? I have the same ones in 18" that I want to sell and get some 19" in gray like yours. And how about your calipers. I love the yellow color how did you do that? Did you have to change them or just got them painted? I appreciate your help. By the way I got the side skirts and it totaly changed the look of the car. Do it first.

thanks for all the compliments again
I put another 175 miles on the car today and i cant get over the difference these tires have made. Absolutely amazing....i'm completely sold. I tried as hard as i dare to make them squeel on the expressway ramps tonight and got nothing but rock solid road grip.
