Thanks...I really wanted to get a custom set of DPE's, but I didn't want to pay quite that much on wheels. It costs me double the price most people have to pay. Every time I spend money on the car I have to spend money on my wife. It adds up real quick. I see you ordered a set of the DPE st-10's. I really like those and the Radenergie R10's.
understandable, i know how you feel. I bought all my new toys and then the GF gets a new gucci purse
i think that you tried out these new forged wheels, and the combo is quite nice and goes very well with you theme
I think what I would do next are spacers to push out those wheels for a more aggressive stance, even a little poke.
What are the offsets?

Nice! I love the wheels and exhaust setup you have. How loud is it? Any drone or notice any power loss/gain? After seeing all the quad setups here at the SLO meet, I want to make mine quad!

The first thing I'm getting when I come home are coilovers. I can't wait to read your review on the Nex GT coilovers. They sound look a good alternative. Hopefully you are happy with them.
I am not 100% sure what the offsets are. I think I remember them saying 20mm.

I originally just had the regular RPI setup. It sounded great, but I wanted it to be a little louder. I had the resonator removed and mounted the RPI muffler in its place. I thought that it would have been louder, but it's not. I don't have any drone. It feels like I may have lost a little low end torque, but it will still get up and go just fine.
