well done, man!

what size tires are you running on the new wheels? they look a little chunkier than the alpinas...

[Philo]

Another vote for the alpinas. Great car all around.

looks good man. but i think the Alpinas suited it the best

love that color

Amazing car. I agree about the Alpinas.

I Thank all those mentioned in the areas above for the help and a few others especially my Savannah e30 guys.
Oh and I will take better pics or someone else will, my driveway is slanted so the car doesn't show the true stance.
