I know I know, I never had any one say anything bad about the stalker when it was on the car but soon as i took it off. When i went with the kb i took it off mostly because i am running a lfp heat exchanger for a cobra and wanted it to fit like stock.

But thats for the comments Guys

PS. everyone elses cars looks greats.

Yeah i was just going to say that about zigs wheels. I was thinking about getting another set of wheels just to change up, back and forth. I don't really like any other wheels, i'd probably go with the setup PCola has got going. Or some sick 18 inch saleens.

Those things are just *** ugly though, lol. Might be able to get better tires on a 16" wheel too, plus better handling.

yeah, but remember those ugly *** rims have cheap 15's on them, vs 16's which are still cheap vs. the $500+ you spent on tires alone for your fr500's. Cheap tires are good, at least well you are learning and while it is more of a casual hobby then a race obsession...haha.

the 16's are for sale. thought I'd mention that. I can't find anyone that wants them. I dont feel like changing my brakes to ever use them again.
