The wheels you chose look great. I put 20' chrome Pasati 5 spokes on mine about a week and a 1/2 ago and it makes a huge difference in the look. :thumbs

I put on 245/40 tires. According to the wheel store, they fill them with nitrogen and installed my sensors. I do not notice much ride difference, other than the fact it seems more agile on the interstate.

With the stabilizer bar, I felt that the car sits / stays square in corners. Great feeling and good response. Nice improvement for the money spent. Less than $150 and less than an hour to install. (1/2 hour to peel off the labels and clean the bar..:lol )

Well I got the stabilizer bar installed and painted the calipers red and now Im just waiting to put on the chrome rims. I will send in pictures of it when its all done, now for painting the calipers I found it kinda hard to do since it was attached to the brake line which I didn't want to disconnect since I did not want to go through the hassel of bleeding the brakes, but I recommand anyone who were to do it. To remove the brake line and paint it on a table surface.
I however did not paint the whole caliper since the back part of it you cannot see due to the rims blocking it and it facing the back.
Now the stabilizer bar is pretty kick ass I must admit since it holds the back end of that car like no tomorrow when taking a corner at high speeds. I haven't got to rip it out full force yet due to the face I have no rubber left :lol but when everything is good to go I will have the pics on here.

I painted my calipers in position just like you. It's a good thing that the wheel wells are large...! :skep
I am waiting for my chrome wheels. The car looks great..! :D

Nitrogen leaks out the same as air, it's a gimmick for people to spend more money, usually, a hundred bucks. Also nitrogen is mostly oxygen We have had this discussion in earlier threads.I put on 245/40 tires. According to the wheel store, they fill them with nitrogen and installed my sensors.

They must do things a little different in this area. There was no extra charge for the nitrogen, they air them up for free when you take it back to them and they rotate and balance your tires for free. I live in a very small town, that kind of service is not uncommon.
