Thank you. Thank you all! Very satisfying to have a mod worked out!

I must say, wasn't entirely sure about the wheel finish, cuz I was 1 of the 2 votes for the matte finish! I still feel it's more badass, but I am in the minority, so 2 vs 9 votes so far. Please vote if you haven't done so, that will help me decide if want to strip the glossy black clearcoats.

I am loving the setup more each day (Now with TPMS, and no more BONG!) especially the Continental DW's. By far the best tires I've had on this car! That list includes OEM Dunlop RTF, Hankooks v12, BFGoodrich g-force. The DW's are smooth even with coilovers, and the fact that I went with the plus sidewall setup. I did not want ride to suffer for the fam while I have my fun. See...I can be mature!

Thanks everyone for looking!
