Poor Trinity had to listen to me flip flop for 24 hours. I know once I get the kit I'll want the wheels, but I'm sure the same would have happened had I gotten the wheels first.

Need some advice, currently have stock 18" style 124's that came stock on my 545. Oh and there is alot of tread left on my 124 tires. Does the kit look awkawrd with 18's?

Thanks guys.

wheels first !@!!!!!#!#!#!!!!@$@#T^#&Y$%

I'm doing it in this order:

wheels
lower with springs and struts/shocks kit
shadow trim
front lip spoiler
rear acs trunk spoiler

done. (yea right)

I actually think the stock rear looks way better than the M-tech one. Only thing I'd consider replacing is the skirts and the front end.

Thanks guys, just ordered the kit. wheels will have to wait for a few more months, I just hate to have to buy new tires when i have so much tread left on the 124's.
Glad you made the decision to go with the kit first. I am in the same position you where. Perhaps you could get your wheels powder coated for the time being. That's what I am thinking of doing and once my tires are ready to go, I will get a new set of wheels. I have about 1/4 of tread left on my tires so hopefully next spring if I can. However I have to plan for a wedding in the fall and will have to save all my $$ for it. After that though look out.
