setup looks HOT. but i think for the 1/10th of a second added per 100lbs of extra dead weight you WONT be noticing while you arent taking this puppy down the 1/4, i think youll be jussssst fine..again, hot setup! hows the interior coming along?

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! That is HOT!!!!

Might as well go with the Supremes in Chrome 20s. You can't drive fast in HK and you certainly can't with that system, so might as well throw on the biggest and heaveist wheels too. If you can't be the fastest car on the block might as well be the prettiest.

either the stilulous or supremes would look great in chrome or brushed silver but man please with all that work done to yuor car complete it with 20's. It deserves baller sized wheels and make nit just make.

I agree 100% with chicagoblknazn, its its not going to be the fastest make it the prettiest and we all know it has that punch from TT's...

You guys are making me spit here.

Although I can never do a system like that (just not my style), I have to give you props for an unbelievable looking system. Wow.

Yep, I havta agree. If I had seen these before choosing my SSR GT3's I think I would have gone with them. I still think I'd like to switch, maybe put the SSR's on my SC400 which is a bit more sporty design and go with a more formal VIP look on the black GS
