Lovin' the Whitelines poking out back there. That "diffuser" delete along with the lack of muffler just shows off the colors.

That did the trick. Still tight bolts, but nothing I couldn't handle.

Car looks seriously good!

The more pictures you post of that rear, the more I like it. I wish you had some sexy real diffuser back there that worked with the new contours and eliminated the lift/added downforce.

[Nevermore]

I'm surprised by how much I like the look of the rear of your car missing the diffuser. I like being able to see all of the aftermarket parts. Looks very purpose built, but not like it's actually missing anything.

I've always been a fan of Rays/Volk, but it's been over 10 years since I stopped tuning cars and following all the manufacturers, having started tuning imports in the late 80s. I feel a bit old and out of it. :p

Seems like a good place to drop this - my list of the lightest weight wheels for our car , not considering 17x7 or smaller, with a cut off of ~$2500, and some aesthetic inclusions and exclusions. I got the weights and prices where I could.

Great job putting this together...
...although I have a set of 17x8 rpf1s and they are 15.6lbs. K4Rs are also 15.6 from a friend who has them. Personally, I was tempted to go with Kosei K4R or K1ts in 17x7 at 14lbs when I thought I would stay at 225s max;however, I'll be running 235 toyos or 245 hoosier r6s, so that forces me to 17x8.

Wow. That diffuser delete looks fantastic with the Tomei exhaust.

What did you do with the reverse light?

Stay tuned! (And prepare to be tuned in for a WHILE, haha. I'm concentrating on fixing up/paying off my house right now.)

Hey, thanks a lot! I'm considering going with some Wilwood brakes that are compatible with 15" wheels. Even if I do that, your list will be a huge help in beginning researching the best wheels for that situation. I'm amazed there are 17's in the sub 14lb range. Good stuff!

Thanks! And... nothing. I just don't have a reverse light.

About Willwoods and 15's...

Look up 949Racing 6UL Wheels.

Specifically made to accept the 11.75" Willwood Big Brake Kit.

Check em out...great wheels...had them on my S/C AW-11

[Anthony]

@diss7, did you ever settle on a set of brakes?

[kavanagh]

is there a good way to drop an excel spreadsheet into the forum?

I took @Flow 's information (which is awesome!) and added a link to an image for each rim and tried to verify the other info.

I figured if it was in excel, people could sort by what's most important to them, weight, size, price...

Yeah, I couldn't figure it out either. I have the original in Excel (which probably would have saved you some time) but couldn't get it to display here, or even display in a table.
