My problem is that it's a 100% daily driver and I live in a city/metro area.
Gotcha, to each his own, I would get some nice wheels for DC. Those roads are some of the worst, probably the only close comparison is Baltimore roads.

I was planning on doing a polish and detail to the paint over the Christmas holiday anyways. That should fix the tiny little blemishes that are left.

Nope, not just you. I agree. More is less and less is more.

Just like that, back to stock.

Found these on Craigslist locally last night for $850 with nearly new Goodyear Eagle RS-A's. Oddly in a 255/45R19. I like that they are taller than what they put on them stock.

Also looks more slammed now back on 19's than it did on 20's. My Torq-Thrusts are in bad shape. I don't think a single wheel isn't bent to hell.

That sucks that someone would back into your car. Atleast it looks like you were able to buff it out.

Those look much better. I would leave it like that. I really think those are some of the best OEM wheels.

Stop with all the tacky apperance mods and start focusing on performance. Get rid of those silly white vents too. Hate to be brutally honest but someone needs to be.

I have to admit that does look better. A good wait until Milans?

Having all this installed this week, so dunno yet, but think I s/b happy with this for my goals. Ive been putting this stuff together for the better part of a year, buying everything on sale ranging from 15-60% off, all new except the Brembos (GT500 takeoffs) and the c/c plates b/c I'm not a rich man, lol. Still need to buy control arms too but am not sure which yet, leaning towards Whiteline. Will install those & my MGW myself when I reload & buy the ramps I have my eye on but got a cheap quote from a guy I trust for all this stuff now while it's cold, so I went for it.
