20mm is very aggressive with the OEM 166s. Can you show front and rear pictures? I'd like to see how far the rear wheels are pushed out. Any case, the car looks great!

I posted some pics (5) in a separate thread. I always start with my post in the "general" section, and they always tend to move it to "parts, accessories, and mods" in a couple of hours. Tell me what you think of the pictures....
Thanks for all of the kind words here. I drove the car for a full day today. Everything is beautiful. The feeling of 19" wheel handling with H&R performance springs (without vibration) is awesome.
The General Exclaim tires seem really good as well. I do not know how they compare to PS2s, but they are fairly quiet and they seem to handle well. At $550 for a set of four, they cannot be overlooked when looking at tires.
