I AM FINALLY DONE WITH THE CAR...19\" HRE\'S, CARBON FIBER BOTTLE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Hello,
I think I am finally done with the car. Except for small things for the interior it is done. These photo's were taken before the 1" drop. It really look low now. Hope you like and please be gentle with the criticism.

Those rims really made the car. Did you put the nitrous in yourself? How hard is it and what did the system cost you?

Very Nice! The rims off set the car nice! Did you lower it?

Rims look very nice. Did you need to modify the fuel system much for the nitrous?

No I didn't modify the fuel system. The pics show the car before it was lowered. You should see it now! I'll try to get new pics up tomorrow.

Car looks great! You made a great choice of rims! They do set the car off!!
How long have you had the NOS? What types of times are you running? And what rims are you running at the track?

Car and the wheels looks great! Who did you buy your wheels thru? How do you like the xenon headlights? Would you recommend them?

2FAST,
Car looks great. I have plans of doing many similar upgrades. I have done exhaust/intake and lowered mine. Xenon is next, and those are the same wheels I want, the car is fast enough for me (for now!). I just want to set it apart visually from other vipers. I gotta ask a ballpark $$$ amount for the wheels/tires??? Its hard to spend over 7 or 8 grand when the stock 18"s look decent. Looking at yours, it is tempting though. Nice job!

I am running Michilin Pilot Sport tires, 345-30-19r 295-35-19f
Yes I know it throws off the speedo (10%)and it may not be the best combo for facing or whatever but I wanted the best look for the street and in my opinion these cars have way too much fender gap from the factory. Before I ordered the tires I did some calculations and even with the 1" drop there still would have been a little more fender gap that I care for if I would have gone with the super low profile Pirelli's not to mention the already low overall stance would be .75" lower with the Pirelli's. By the way those are your only two choices if you go with 19's. With the higher profile Michilins I lose some of the extreme look of the tires but I have plenty of rubber between the road and those expensive wheels, less that 1" of fender gap after the eibach springs, and the perfect size diameter tire to completely fill the fender. After looking at these wheels for a while the stockers look way too small for the car.
I am a factory direct HRE dealer. The best thing to do if you are intrested would be to give me a call. I have really researched the measurements on this car. I do this stuff on the side in my free time, it's my hobby not my bread and butter. I could probably save you some money.

Gorgeous! The polished HREs in particular complement the dark color body.

PS: don't kid yourself -- these things are never "done". Now you need headers
