Well, i got my new wheels. 15x7 Drag DR-16 in bronze. They're basically the same as rota gt3's, but i like the bronze color on the Drag version better as well as the center cap.

One thing that bugs me though is i went with Proxes 205/50/15 tires, and to my dismay, i went from about a one-finger wheel gap in front and 2-finger in the rear with the stock sized tire to 2 fingers in front and about 3 in the rear.

Here are some pics:






I didnt have any sunshine for those last two photos. Damn clouds. lol

lol yeap.. they're are knockoffs of knockoffs, but look just as nice and dont chew up all the money i'll be using to swap in a gsr motor and jrsc so..... fuggit. I'm not materialistic. I'd rather spend my cash on something that matters, not on a name brand. People that think a name brand wheel is better than the knockoff (providing the genuine one isnt forged or something technically special like that), are the same people that think the acetaminophen in the bottle that says "Tylenol" is somehow better than the acetaminophen in the "generic" brand bottle and are willing to shell out 20% more money for it.

I'm glad i wasnt raised in the "name brand" generation. :thumbs up

**not trying to offend any materialists, though..**

I have such better acceleration now compared to when i had the 17" wheels on. I never noticed the reduction in power when i went to them, but when i got the new wheels on and floored it.. it blew me away. I wasnt expecting it, but it felt like i had an extra cylinder. Amazing. Also, i'm now getting 40 more miles to a tank of gas.
