Thanks man! That's how I was! Just wanting to slap on as much mods as I could, but now I've calmed down and have the build all planned out so I don't break the bank.

How are you liking the Yokohama S drives?
I had them on my subby and loved them. Wondering how they are on these cars cause I'm leaning for thos once the stock tires give out.

They are unbelievable in terms of traction. They take a little bit to warm up but once they do they are super sticky! They also don't break the bank! Love them.

I payed around 115$ per wheel. The wheels are a bit on the heavy side but I didn't feel a difference in terms of acceleration performance. The paint finish was okay at best...I guess you get what you pay for. The tires size is 235/40/17

For $30-40 you can plastic dip it and use a normal paint metalizer on it. I would recommend bronze or a golden color for your whiteout. 3 bottle of black plastic dip @ $5 each (15) then 3 bottle of any metalizer color $3-9 (any spray paint that doesn't have primer will work! NO PRIMER, primer will make the plasti dip much harder to remove). One clear coat (matte or gloss will work, I suggest gloss). I orginally painted my wheels black then changed it to bronze. As long as you get a decent layer of plastic dip on the wheels then it will come right off even with regular spray paint! If you're patient and decent at painting, you can actually achieve a really nice paint job. I rushed mines and got it done within 3 hours ehich includes taking it off+prepping. My stock rim still looks great , no rips, tear or blemishes after 3 weeks of abuse and power wash. My old frs rims paint was @ 5 month and still looked great! If you need a detail Guide let me know!
