are you saying that our stock wheels are lighter than the VOLK TE37 he has there (which are still one of the lightest rim ever produced)?? that just doesn't make any sense. i would assume that he is using the stock rims for racing simply because he doesn't mind if they get damaged. i also use the stock rims but it was a cost issue and not weight.

just my .02c

That wing is made for track use. Which it is obvious he does spend some time doing. I agree that for street use it doesn't look right but it does provide him with more downforce at the track. If you track your car its pretty easy to understand that function is more important than looks.

i'll say I like the whole package, especially the wing. While it might not be as clean as the factory, I find it to be less IN-YOUR-FACE like the stocker. Nice job, anyways.

wing

u guys have to understand something. the wing i didn't buy primarily for looks. that wing gives me sooooooo much more downforce. it is noticeable at 60 mph. plus i am constantly out at the track. i know it doesn't really flow with the car and it has a 2f2f feel to it, i joke about it with my friends all the time. but it serves a purpose. and the rims. they are track rims. the red was just a small touch to make me stand out.

how about getting a new one (and sell the current) here's a good link, they have at least 3 types of fully adjustable wings...
