Okay so I called Greg Weld Wheels. Talked to Mike on the phone, real stand up guy, knows his stuff.

He told me that he can make the prolite in any bolt pattern we want. So that is instantly availiable.

While that is a nice wheel, its not the look im going for. I want the dragstar that you mentioned. I like the look, its kind of a throw back to the old weld star wheels. I called and asked if he could make an appropriate wheel for my app. 17x9.5 with 5.75 backspacing. He told me that he is going to bring it up in his next board meeting. NICE!!

Looks like they might be offering it in the near future. Not bad at near 200.00 a wheel. Its exactly what im looking for.

Woot!

Ordered my exhaust kit today. I was originally going to go with the pypes kit. Then I thought about the thrush kit, because its so affordable. Well after much internal debate I decided to go with the Flowmaster kit.

Here it is at Flowmaster's website:

Thats a 330.00 difference! I think it might be a screw up on Jegs part. That or I am missing something. Its not that cheap at Summit, or Ebay.
