The rims were used. I got the rims and $300 for my factory wheels and tires. The rims need a little love, they werent taken care of too well. I used the $300 on the rear tires and im not too happy with the way they turned out. They are a little big but i kind of have to run bigger tires here in Louisiana or risk bending a rim on these crap roads. But i needed tires and the tire place had those in stock so thats what i went with. Still not bad for an even trade after everthing was said and done. The fronts are ok but will need to be replaced in the next few months. It will look a little better after i replace those. Thinking i will go with 275/35/20's in the rear and 245/40/20's up front. That way i can put a little more rubber between the rim and road. The 285/35's are a little pricey.
At first i was planning to do the saleen grill. But now i dont know. I will probably do the roush grill since it will match the lower grill i am going to do. Both will be black billett. Or i may just leave the grill alone. I dont have the lower fogs hooked up yet. I just installed them so there wouldnt be holes for now.

Ok so heres the deal. I got these wheels by trading my factory wheels plus the guy gave me $300 as well. The rear tires needed to be replaced. So the 300 bucks + $50 went to tires. This week i replaced the front tires for $350. And i purchased the supplies to paint the wheels (about $50).
Now i know some of you would pose the question..... "Why would you paint a perfectly good set of chrome wheels?!?!?". Well the short answer is the chrome was not taken care of very well. And im not a big fan of chrome and alot of the mods I have done removed the chrome from the car. So i decided to paint the middles of the rims Graphite Grey. Im very stoked with the way they turned out as well. We will see how long it lasts. And i will be sure to post here if they stay good or go bad for those of you that are considering painting your wheels as well.
So i have about $450 dollars invested in wheels and brand new tires. The tires are 275/40/20 in the rear and 265/35/20 in the front. The stance is awesome but i dont think lowering the car will be an option due to the clearance in the rear. The 40 series tires are a little too meaty. I think i will go with either 285/35's or 275/35's in the future so i can lower the car 1" at least. But at this time all the exterior mods are pretty much done. Now i will give my bank acount a break and start on performance mods later.

More changes
Made a few more changes to the car. Removed the white stripe from the hood, replaced with matte black stripe and hood spears. I also painted the grille black and removed the foglights in the grill. Still working on what to put in the place of the holes. Debating on using some ABS textrured plastic or possibly some mesh grill material painted black as well until the Billet grill is purchased and installed.

Got rid of the awful blue fogs. Got the actual roush fogs. Blacked out the grill and grill floglights. The tinted fogs and headlights in the pics is just some 20% window tint I applied for some cool "blacked out" pics. Its not permanent and will be coming off after I take a few more shots!

Yeah I was thinking of that but here in the next few weeks ill have the upper and lower black roush billet grills. So I just put the stock fogs in to fill the holes because it was faster.
