Nice pick up on the wheels!
What color you gonna paint the car?

With the tires its hard to go small. My friend had a hard time getting below 195/40 for his 17x8.5
10 is easy 205/40 or 215/40

17x8.5 205/40
17x9 215/40

Dude, you may hate gold, but if you did the car matte black like you did the G, the wheels would look sick just the way they are.
IMO anyway.

Yeah if I did the car matte black I would keep the wheels, but I'm going with something dark. black or dark gray nothing in detail yet. I'm really hooked on the idea of gloss black lip with matte black face for the wheels. Just really fear the gloss black will chip a lot.

Whatever color scheme I come up with it needs to be soon so I can get this car rolling around

It's going to be nice, a lot of tire

The coilover conversion doesn't look to bad, just chop saw and a quick bead. Just need to decide if 2" drop is enough or else need to research what cartridges you need to go lower. I saw a pretty good how-to a while back if I can find it again I'll post it.

1.)Rear Coil Over Shock Kit
2.)Front Coil Over - adjustable height
(Shortened)
3.)Camber Plates -adjustable racing
4.)Bilstein RACE Front Strut Inserts (pair)
5.)Springs - 2.5" ID Racing

Should get me down pretty low and handle like a champ.

Does anyone know what the bolts on the work vsxx is? 12x8? I need to take these things apart asap.

willwood ftw. Just get a small tire, add some camber and you are set. You shouldnt need a huge pull (unless you rub on the inside)

I know I have been talking to him about my suspension. So funny how it pops up once I get the car. Great build.
