Wheels
I got some very nice but aggressive wheels, they barely fit within the fenders.
PhatFux Ballzy (yep, that's what they're called)
18x9 +35 offset.
They'll give the car alot of street cred and should also work well on the track as they are under 19lbs, so not RPF1 range of lightness but still very good.
See test-fitting pics below.
Springs
I will also be adding Eibach ProKit springs and crash bolts to pull some more camber and lower the car a bit (1" lower F/R). These springs will also give me less of the power-on oversteer at the limit that this car exhibits, since the spring rates are a bit softer in the rear (less Scion F/R bias, more like GT86/BRZ).
Tires
I expect to be able to run these Conti tires for this year and also next. So far, I have 3 trackdays booked, probably will end up doing about 5 this year.
Reviews are very good for this tire, grip in dry and wet is excellent and durability is quite good for a Max Performance Summer category tire.
Oh, and they are on sale at TireRack right now..
