(6/20/05) The 17x7 Speedy Lite-5's weigh in at 16.3lbs; stock rims are 21lbs each in comparision! Since I work for Goodyear, I had to get Goodyear tires. The Eagle F1's handle great in the rain as well as on dry pavement!
(3/5/05) Most of the parts are on, I just have a few more small things to do. The difference between completely stock suspension and fully redone suspension is like night and day! It makes the car twice as fun to drive now! On car pics are below.
