All,

I appreciate everyone's assistance since I got my '05 last November. With all this input I have accomplished the following in the past week:

Installed Stabilizer Bar
Installed XLR Deck Lid Liner

New Wheels and Tires (pics):
Verde Kaos Hyper Dark Silver 20x8.5
Yokohama S.Drive P255/35/20


Next: Paint up calipers, carbon fiber coat engine cover, head to BGIII

Would love everyone's feedback on the wheels and tires.

Thanks,

Sully

Silverx I will post it when it is done. I am waiting for the carbon fiber sheets - they should be in next week.

My other thought was to do it in the same color as the calipers - red, but decided against. I order both graphite and red carbon fiber sheets and I will mock it up to see which one looks better.

I will ensure I take 'in process' pics and document then effort so others can do it if they want.

Nice wheelz ... Great choice! :thumbs

The XLR looks great !!!

Thanks for all the positive comments all!

Just wanted to give you an update the 20s ride incredible and the Yoko S.Drive tires are really well done.

Very little road chatter, they stick like glue, good comfort ride and to be honest they have really increased the steering responsiveness. Coming off the stock run flats I thought I used to have performance I was wrong, this drives like it is on rails.

Anyway, if anyone was looking to move away from the stock tire I will give a :party to the new Yoko S.Drive. They have not been out very long but are an excellent tire match for this car.

Love em. I had something similiar with less ribs and the fewer ribs the more chance of getting a bent rim from pot holes. Bought all new Foose speedsters with Caddy inserts and will just have to dodge the pot holes.
As long as the rims are only dusty, get yourself a small pointed lambs wool brush from your local car parts place, it will fit in the slots really easy and will just take a few minutes before you leave he garage.
