What Shall it be

Racking my brain trying to decide what to do to the exterior of the car.

Don't want to spend to much here and take away from performance parts.

So I think I came up with 3 options.

I really like the look of stock painted/powder coated wheels so option 1 is

1. Öhlins + Powder/paint stock wheels

I also have been eyeing advan wheels RS-Ds or RZ-DFs

So option 2 would be

2. the advans, and maybe springs.

And the 3rd option would of course be...

3. powder/paint stocks + springs and more $$$ for performance parts

#1 and add 10mm or 15mm spacers to push out the wheels.

Depends on your goals.

If you're racing in a straight line, the option 3 is best. If you're racing on a road course or rally type events, then option 1 is probably best. If you're more concerned about looks, then option 2 is the one.

Advans are great rims (I have a set of RZ-DFs ordered), but they're mostly a show mod and a pricey one too!

Plan on going to a road course now and then. Going in a straight line is boring. But then again she will be my DD in the end and would prefer a decent ride on the street.
