Re: GOT MY WHEELS!!
Reggie,
The only other thing I would highly recommend, if you haven't gotten them yet, is the low profile (aka 'tuner' style) wheel lug nuts and locks. They are much slimmer compare to the stocker nuts, which prevents the side wall from being scraped. Mine were badly scorned from such a feat. Some also come in 'splined' layout rather than the typical 'hex' face, making it practically impossible to slip and strip/round-off the nut faces by accident.
The lug nuts I got were made by Gorilla (12M x 1.25, cone seat, 19mm tuner style, spline drive). You can get them at America's Tires. Unfortunately, Gorilla does not make low-profile wheel locks (their normal style lock was what scrape the heck out of mine). I ended up with a similarly profiled locks by McGard (model 24154). It is a non-splined type, however.
BTW, are you going with 13" or 14" Stoptechs? Both front and rear? I'm still waiting for Stoptech to release the FULL 13" kit.

Clint,
I did go for the McGard..Gorilla are just too big and didnt want to scratch my wheels..McGard looks clean and I'm diggin them..Regarding my Stoptech, I went for the 13"s hopefully they can sell the rear kit separately when they come out..
