what do you guys think would look better, some rpf1 in SBC,
or some p45r in a gunmetal color, I'm open to any suggestions, planning to get wheels next time I need tires.

For the nose chop to look right it definitely needs a lip on the bumper.

you said look better so i say p45s' since i have them on my x and i love them, but if you are serious about tracking your car the rpf1 is lighter so that will help you there. either one will do regaurdless so get what makes you happy.

I only drag race occasionally , maybe once or twice a year. so the p45s will probably be the wheel of choice, i was looking at getting them in a 18x9.5 +20. hopefully it wont rub too much

what size wheels would you guys recommend. im pretty sure i want the p45r but i want them to fit nice and flush, without spacers and with enough room for some beefy tires for comfort.

The Evo looks much better with the new paint! Ditch those all seasons though... c'mon, you live in Texas - not the pacific NW!

The RPF1's have my vote between those 2 wheel choices.. Quality & strength are two words that come to mind right off the bat..

So i went to the track A few weeks ago and only managed to get a 13.6 at 103. Gotta get some more launching practice.

Then last week i went back to Jms to get an Intercooler, wideband, and test pipe installed, and we found that my cat was all clogged up. After some a touch up to the tune, the car feels great, way smoother, and i hope to go back and try to break 12s with some good launches in a couple of weeks. Next mods will either be some Megan Street series coilovers. Or I might just save up for an FP black, Ported Manifold, and o2 dump and get those power mods out of the way.
