You can try and pick up a set of used MR BBS forged rims from the for sale section, as long as the price is reasonable.

Shed some weight off the car ( 400 lbs ) and block off as much of the air going under the car as possible. Block off the rear bumper from catching air from the underneath.

All those will help keep the car safe and help with power to weight as well as the aero which is huge above 130 mph

Thanks for the info. Will the rear diffuser be good enough as far as blocking air from going underneath? What is a good way to shed some weight? Maybe take the seats out temporarily? I will look into those wheels. And thanks for the tire rating info, didn't know that. There is a lot more that goes into those high speeds than I thought.

Thanks, that is a good idea.
