I think my favorite part is the solstice wheels. I have always been a fan of the slim 5 spokes like those..

Thanks everyone!! I told Dayton the other day that he would be impressed with how my car looked since the last time you guys had seen it. After we went to pontiac is when I lowered it, then got the grill, and last week got my wheels and tires. And yes I had to shim out the front wheels( the 225/45 and a 8" wide wheel). They were barely rubbing on the struts, actually they were rubbing on the braket for the sway bar links. I took my grinder and shaved a lil bit off of that bracket and shimmed the wheels out 1/8" and no more rubbing. I am thinking about getting 5/16" thick shims for all 4 wheels, but when I do that I want to put longer wheel studs in so I have some extra threads for the lug nuts.
