I debated about the caps here (see old post), as I was surprised how much I liked the wheels with no caps. I would have needed to clean and paint my center hubs black, though as they're hella rusty.

Haha, thanks. I wanted to try something new with the post processing.

Hmm... I want to say yes, but honestly not sure. The engineer in me knows it's negligible. Plus, I only had them on for a week and a half before installing my AR Downpipes. Now those definitely have a noticeable performance gain (especially when it's the last mod you do to your FBO ).

Haha, it's actually my PS3 gamertag. Call of Duty 2.5 K/D. Random clip of me in action here.

PS - I wanted as much rubber as I could get in the rear for max traction and originally had 275's, but too much rubbing for daily driving required me to bump down.

Thanks.
I hear ya and agree; 335s have tiny, ugly brakes, which have no where to hide with Advans. My brakes were actually the first mod I did to my car. They're aftermarket dimpled & slotted performance rotors that I bought here. I used the DIY on the forum to install them myself along with some Akebono performance pads and then just painted the stock calipers with a G2 paint kit. I'd highly recommend this setup as opposed to a pricey BBK unless you're going to track your car often. I only go on occasion and don't think the performance could be that much better.
