Well, have a few more updates.
I ordered some tires & wheels from Wheeldude.
Rota Titans 17x9 +42 with Ventus V12 245/40-17. The combo weighed in at 42 lbs. The package also included the new flush centercaps, Blox lugs and the hubrings. All mounted and balanced and ready to bolt up. The were packaged nicely and arrived right on schedule.
I also ordered the cat back exhaust as mentioned here:

The vendor was TopSpeed Auto through ebay Price was good. Install as expected working in the driveway. Took about an hour. Sound is subtle but lower in tone. Maybe a little louder then stock. I need some more time in the car to review better.
