That's Dan Mazella's car (from Rotarynews.com). They are either Workmeisters or Volk Racing (can't remember for sure). Pretty sure he said that they go for $900 each, and yes, I believe that the ride height is still stock!

BTW, he could still smoke these pretty good from a dead stop

Dang that's sweet.. What are those 19s? What size are the tires? Does it affect the "ratio" .. you know that deal where it affects the speedo and/or mileage? Sorry, dont know what that's called..

They arent WORK Meisters (one of my favorite rim designs), Meisters look like:


And are listed as 18" only.

WORK Wheels

Work VSXX
19x8.5 on the front 19x9.5 on the rear
Yokohama AVS's 235/35 on the front 265/30 on the rear.

In terms of how they changed the car, I really can't notice a difference. I think the rotational mass of the stock rims is out further than these, so even though they weight a tad more, I think rotational inertia is nearly the same, if not less (since the tires probably weight less too)
