Default New wheels and brakes

Okay, looking for 16's with racing ability... light weight... good looking... hopefully under 1,100 with tires....

I'm getting 11" discs all around from fastbrakes.com, so if that changes my lugnut pattern, i need to know that...

i want silver... anyone know good tire/wheel packages under 1,000?

for under a grand with decent tires i think you are stuck with rotas. Fastbrakes kicks ass though, good luck

Um, package deals at Tirerack.com, or dicounttire.com, they might be the same place.
Only drawback is doo doo rubbers.

i think you can upgrade to some kumho 712's for a little more or something like that.

Just get some rotas for 400 shipped and you can get a 205/50/15 ecsta 712 for like 60 bucks a tire and 40 shipping for all 4.

Quite honestly, going from stock to larger rotors without upgrading calipers isn't much of a performance upgrade...
