Awesome bro! Can't wait to see the work you do cause I know it'll be killer. Perfect color choice too. I always thought it was odd how much wheel gap they have with stock suspension.

the right gold wheels will look killer...white is rteally nice too but you know very well white wheels = impossible to keep clean and over time will become dingy...
Personally id do gold or bronze black will fade into the car and look bland unless you get some sick polished alloys...

yeah.. that's kind of what i was getting at. i didn't really notice it when i was down there on sunday but looking at some of those pics you got they're pretty euro, which i'm not a fan of either. they don't look bad, but i bet you can find something better.
and i agree with klepto. the bronze rpf1's in 17 will look pretty sick.

the brakes can be shaved to accomodate 16's.......there was some one here who had the fd rims (16x8) and the brakes....they were just trimmed a little bit....and i would have them painted and cleaned up before i install them

are they the 8 OEM sways, and do they actually gain anythig in performance, I guess they must since the 8 was built as a heavier car, so I guess their lateral load wil be be broader,,, If the OEMS fit why was your decision to go with the factories as opposed to a proven aftermarket such as RB, Hotchkis, etc??? please tell...

the oem 8 sways are thicker and more rigid than any of the aftermarket sways....its kind of a cheap underground mod i guess but definately works from what i read
