I noticed that there are quite a few people outside of CA that don't quite get the VIP look yet... Very nice ride. I like the wheels.

haha, don't know if you will or not. For me its one of those things where the more I looked at the style, the more I came to appreciate it...kinda like one of those songs that you really don't like but they keep playing it over and over and over.....and eventually you find yourself singing along .

The new Jaz wheel, right?

Car looks good! The 'fin' style wheel is an acquired taste. I happen to like it!

To answer a few of your questions....

The Data System setup up was about 700, I had it installed by GT_Pro in Fullerton, they programed the unit, it took them a couple of hours. The pictues show it at full drop. I ride it higher for everyday use.

The Jaz wheels barely clear the front breaks, they are 20s. Tavis the owner let me take a look at their warehouse near Buena Park. Tavis designs them and gets them manufactured in Taiwan. Cast low-preassure aluminum. (as I understand it) I opted for inexpensive wheels mainly because I will trash them pretty quickly....I drive about 30K per year.

20X8.5 ET35
20X9.5 ET38
Falken FK452 245/35/20ZR
Falken FK452 275/30/20ZR

I got the whole wheel setup from Peter at http://www.getyourwheels.com/. He balanced and intalled them on the car. The picture here, shows the car at "drive" height....Peter actually took the picture near his facility.

Cheers!
