great choice john , those salinas look real good
question though , how come no 18inchers at least and staggered.. it would really show off your car and the mods you have done so far , your ride will still feel like 17in and your handling will not degrade and it will give you better traction for when that day come for FI
looks great nonetheless bro
ohh btw off topic,,, we from sfl are convoying up to nopi atlanta in mid september for nopi .. we will be driving right past tampa to get there , so far it looks like between 30-45 of us , would love to have you onboard for the weekend bro , from tampa it should be a 5hr drive give or take
do you think you get the time off and join us , 1sicklex has gotten us prime parking within the stadium again and theres a huge atlanta lex meet planned for sun and then we head south monday am
hope you can swing it bro its always great to hang with ya

They are 18's and staggered... my old wheels were 17's 
Nopi sounds like fun, I will run it past the Boss...
I don't see why we couldn't attend!

Great choice. I am very biased to them as I have them on my car and love the look.
Not to bling and makes the car look just different enough as to get noticed. Flows very well with the rest of the car.

What tire sizes are you running drew? Neo said to ask you since I am getting ready to possible replace what is on there.

As it turns out I am going to need new tires... one front had a sidewall bulge and the other was completely bald on the inside side... so hopefully when you put on your new wheels Motu1 you had an alignment done... if not get one done soon... the left side rear also had considerable camber wear...
My total with tires was a little more than I expected to shell out but if I decide to sell my 17's I should recop most of it... it is making me rethink what I should sell my L-Tuned 17's for since they are basically brand new with at least 90% tread still left...

I will get it checked out. Got the car last October and the dealer never mentioned anything regarding camber wear or alighnment. I need to go down there and get it checked. Don't dealer service usually tell you about those things? Last time I was there was for a break job I would think the tech would note it to my service rep.

You would think so... but I guess not... DEFINATELY get it checked/done soon before you wear your new tires unevenly!
Also, if you plan on changing your suspension to coilovers go ahead and get a lifetime alignment to save some dough in the long run... that way after you get your new suspension on you can get it realigned for free.
Ask them to show you what it was at... The passenger front (inside) and drivers rear (can't remember) look really bad.
