Letting the local rim shop talk me into 18's instead of 19's. Something about wheel companies fazing out 19 inch rims and 19 inch tires will be very expensive soon!?!?!? Is there any truth to that?

Cheap knock off mufflers and not putting in an X pipe. Oh well it was a test and I got them for dirt cheap. So i'll just replace them with magnaflow and run an x pipe. It could be worse.
