Pics with new wheels
I was surprised of how well it still rides. I think I'm just going to leave it right where it is on the suspension height.

Wheels are Vossen CV1's, 22x9 front and 22x10.5 rear. Tires, Pirelli 245-30 front and 283-25 rear. You could use a 295 rear (which I was suppose to get). I have the rear fenders rolled also.
Wheel package was $4200 shipped. BUT I'm not real happy from where I purchased them from. I'm too old to start internet drama so I'll leave it at that. The packaging was something to be desired (first set of shipped wheels where damaged different brand). Then was told I just use the stock lugs but I knew better and tried it anyway, no good. And when I did get them on, of course it wiggled after 50mph. So I put them my machine (I have access to one) and it was something to be desired. I know every machine is not the same but when I say desired, shake your head wtf is going on.

Thanks Was thinking of a Carlsson body kit. But I haven't decided if I'll keep it longer then a year. Maybe If I get a deal on an extended warranty before Dec then I'll step up the mods somemore.

I know I know.... The first set that was sent (different brand) was messed up. They wanted to just fix them and send them back. So I settled for another deal. I'm trying to lead a stress free life these days, these guy's really test my patience. Nobody would probably even believe me if I said who they were. I still don't have the lug bolts they were suppose to send me. You'd think they would at least Priority mail them? Maybe I just expect too much. Again trying the stress free life.....
I told myself I wasn't going to mess with this ride. After moding 20+ rides, dealing with all kinds of crap, I'd give it up. BUT nooooo. There were only 2 places I ever delt with that was spot on mint. ADM Perfermance, and A&A Supercharger. OH 3 places, customwheel, which is where I should have just bought rims from. Oh well, i'll get over it.

Thanks Fellas...
No problem with checking out the ride. The ride quality is not anywhere near as bad I thought it would be. Even Grandma approved. Even she said, just can't leave the car alone huh....i just try to make sure I don't get swallowed up by the big holes.
