Lookin' good... Be sure you post more pics after you install those wheels. By the way, what is the difference between polished finish and brushed aluminium?

Yes they are 19". 19x8.5 front, 19x9.5 rear.

The brushed aluminum is a brushed finish that is like a semi gloss aluminum.

The full polish is a full shine much like chrome.

I will post more pic's this weekend. Got the tires (Michelin Pilot Sport 2's) mounted today and will put them on Saturday.

I thought moderators are not allowed to tease?! Very nice Adam! But why even mount the tires? They look great just sitting like that on your car!

Looks great! Congrats on the new shoes.


We need to get that software to lower the car a little bit more and it will be absolutely perfect.

275/40/19 rear

245/35/19 front

Michelin Pilot Sport 2's.

Amazing ride. Quite and smooth. Just as smooth and maybe even more quiet than the Bridgestone RE050's. Handles in the dry much better than the Bridgestone RE050's as well.

They make modules now that will let us adjust the height beyond what the stock ABC does. They are just so damn much....
