I PM'd you on the wheels. IMO, you don't want these wheels unless you are going to get BBK (brembos) because this wheel exposes alot of brake

What about these? About $2200 without tires. http://wheelsperformancecom.stores.y.../vovvblma.html
Definitely go with a 5 star. I prefer a split 5 star or a "fat" 5 star like you pictured. Looks better than the skinny Beyern 5 star

John, Good observation... but, Brembo is the solution? What about painting calipers and/or adding slotted/drilled rotors? Much cheaper and about equal aesthetically.
