Please do......... If you like it and can feel the difference I might bring mine down and have it done. Regarding black cars, you just have to keep a duster in the trunk with a mico fiber towel and bottle of final inspection. Once or twice a day and the car will look cherry. Also once a week I apply a light coat of polish to keep the swirl marks out.

I'm going with the Kleemann Stage 1 mod and either the brabbus monoblockVI or the renntechs. I'm thinking renntechs since I dont see many at all. What do you think? Here are both.

Car looks Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Glad to see you got change back from 100K.
Renntechs all the way if you want performance. 10 pounds less per wheel, stronger wheel too. They say 1 pound of rotational unsprung weight= 10 pounds of sprung weight. Lets say this is not true and that its not 10, or 7, or even 5.... lets just say 4. 10 pounds on 4 wheels = 40 pounds... in sprung weight at (4x) = 160. Just the wheel difference alone is like taking 160 pounds out of your car. If you do 8 pounds thats 320 pounds.
You car will definitely RIDE better believe it or not, because ride quality on bumps is dependent on wheel weight... handle better, stop better. There is no lighter wheel than the Monolite. If performance matters, its a no brainer.
Also beware of tire weights... they sit at the edge of the rotational mass making the biggest difference. Some are definitely lighter than others. You can see complete weight specs at the tire rack. Michelin PS2... light, very good tire. Don't go too big... it may look good but it will kill your car.
