With the help of some mad sweet tooner lugs from the not-so-friendly local Advance (this area is cursed for getting decent Advance employees), the 16x7 ET11 BBS mesh wheels are now mounted.

Edit: Yes it's practically parked on top of a hose and I was too lazy to wash it. Sue me!

Thanks Matt, they're BBS and rather old. Not a current model, I don't even think they have a model name. They are 16x7, offset is ET11.

Capless!

Also, either a bigger FMIC that fills that hole better, or put the grille back on :P

Replace my windshield and I'll give you a timeslip ;)

My guess is about the same time as before, it's a better hardware setup (slightly), a little better tuned, but it's hot as fuck (my 14.0 was in high 60s F weather). Can't run at the track with a crack in the base of the windshield though. I daily the car half the time now... It sucks when it's cold, but once it's nice and warmed up it runs really well.

You should get some BBS lip decals. I think they make a great addition to wheels if you order them in black. I have a guy in Jax that charges ~$100 to high polish all 4 lips...let me know if you want to get yours done and I'll get you his contact info! He will be who I go through for my new ones in a few weeks. Pics of lip decal:
