Just installed my new wheels and tires. Went with Rocket Racing Hyper Shot booster wheels. Now I can actually drive my car somewhere! Old tires had cracked side walls! Too bad most of the car shows are over for the year and I ripped out 70% of my interior to start redoing it. :icon_bore

Wheels are Rocket Racing Booster wheels in a Hyper Shot finish. Size is 17x8 with 4.5" back spacing all the way around. The tires are Michelin Pilot Sports. I haven't driven it yet outside of my drive way. Have to fix the kickdown on the transmission first. It fell apart when I did my borgeson gear box. Had to order new parts to fix it because I think my wife swept the parts out of the garage! That said, I have similar tires on my 2007 GT and they are awesome. My 07 has about 600 hp and these tires hook up pretty quick on a hot summer day, plus they are excellant for track days. The old tires on my GTCS were rotten so anything is an improvement! It was like roulette driving that car anywhere! Just waiting for them to blow out.
I can't wait for body and paint work! That's the very last thing I am doing to the car. Just started redoing the interior this week. Recovering the seats, new carpet, getting the metal panels repainted. I need to pull the dask to get that painted as well.
