i suppose you gotta have the rivets if you want three piece wheels...and who doesn't want three piece wheels? :D and ranger, if you check the parts for sale forum, you'll see that cortc has offered the Hiros up for a pretty good price...of course, they might be taken already...

The stock lugs are 2.1oz each, the new titanium ones are .96oz each...
Yes the SSRs are 3 piece, you can actually get three piece wheels with hidden bolts HRE makes some but they are really expensive and HREs are not that light...
The hiros are for sale...

Tires will be Hankook Ventus K104s 235/35-19 and 265/30-19 f/r

Well they are 19s, and yes they have a slightly smaller rolling diameter but not enough to be a problem... The stock is 25.9 and the 235/35 & 265/30s are 25.4, that is 820 vs. 804 Revolutions-Per-Mile respectively...

Do you think the wider tires in back will negatively impact handling? There was an article about the JIC car, and they had some problems running wider rear tires.
