Excellent improvement, congrats on the major purchase. Now the question is. . .are the old ones going to become snow tires. . . or burnout tires

Snow?? Burnout??? Those are 15's man, throw some ET streets on the back ones and the skinniest ones that will go on the front and use them for drag wheels...

They definitely improved the look of the car. I am not a fan of chrome but they look nice. Now it just needs a drop.

Your paint looks incredible for an early SN95. Mine is ****, the clear is coming off the rear end, not straight off, it is just thinning but I can notice it and the roof is cracked to **** in spots... Nice looking car.

Thanks! Yeah the paint (and the interior) are in excellent shape. I just bought the car. The previous owner bought it from a rental company when it was 6 months old, then has babied it during his ownership. he only put about 8000 miles a year on it and kept it in his garage most of it's life. I plan on polishing it and waxing it here soon before the bad weather comes along.

LOL. Right now, the motor is stock and I think I have a ways to go before I start thinking about drag wheels or burnouts

Very nice! Huge improvement. There are so many things one can add to a car and go broke doing it!

It is amazing how much a nice set of wheels make the car look 1000x better.
Nice choice.
