Looks great, John. Your car is currently the only one I'm following right now. Always ready for more pics!
Thanks bro, I'm waiting for you to get those RS' on. Let me know if you need help sourcing parts if you don't have any yet. I built my old RS' for my VW a while back

Still debating if I want the rear to be 18 and the front to be 17... that's my biggest thing right now.
I vote 18 all around. You going to get bigger lips? Flat caps? Let me know if you can't source a spot for the re drill. I had a place locally redrill my 5x112 RS' to 5x100 and they did a great job. Spot is called team 3 wheel and is about 20min from my house.

The other two look like they've already been taken apart and resealed, kinda nervous about getting them apart... don't want it to be a big pain in the ***.
For sure, yea if you plan on sealing them yourself buy one of those moto wheel tumblers from harbor frieght it may help spinning the wheel when sealing it.

for once i have to agree that you were right in not getting projectors, with both yours and Chris' setups it looks better with the reflectors

Projectors > Reflectors

The two coupe in here are exceptions to that, also a buddy of my sold his projectors cause he need the moola and oddly the reflectors looked better on his coupe
