I just went after the lightest, closest to stock dimension wheels at the time. I'm tempted to get wider wheels now, like the Enkei's since I no longer qualify for stock class in autocross.

i went 9.5 wide and they are only 1 pound heavier than stock so I was willing to compromise the added weight for an extra inch and a half of rubber on the floor

I like the advan wheels alot and Rays Wheels (Volk, Ggames, etc..) Also look into Work just not mine, Enkei, PIAA, some Axxis wheels if your not really worried about weight you get to look at all axxis wheels they are a little heavier, MRR, lol there are sooo many options

lol I know and while I would love to buy the BHR Mid-pipe I really cant justify to myself spending the 500 dollars on their midpipe when i can pick up a used RB mid-pipe which are quality for like 200 bux

BHR is a great company and I absolutley love their products but I also dont want it to be very loud so I think RB may be slightly quieter as they have DRs

Im gonna see about getting out of work early tommorow night hopefully if not at least at 10 but ill probably be coming out to the valley if you guys are gonna be out there.

Haha just one thing no one is allowed to look inside my car right now considering there isnt much to look at. Im to lazy to put all the stuff back together just to take it apart in a couple days.

Don't get me started on them. Did you know their RX-8 driver claims 260+ rwhp with an exhaust and an "APC short ram intake"? It does 13's allegedly.
