I'd convert to center-locking hubs (and have custom rotor hats machined to accept Porsche 911 Turbo ceramic composite rotors), and have a custom set of center-lock, magnesium BBS or Speedline wheels made in 18x9.5" front, 18x10.5" rear, in carbon-polish finish, and a have a lock nut wrench machined out of titanium for me like the one the McLaren F1 comes with.

That's easy.

I'd go with HRE 540R's all the way around. 10's in the back and 8.5's in the front. Powdercoated black with a polished lip all done by HRE. If I only had 6G's.

Yep. They're a performance rim, too... the 14x6 weighs 18 lbs.

I think 545R would best look on CYM. Classic 5 spokes design with deep dish... I can't wait to save up that 5g...Anyone got actual pics of 545R on Cym?

18's bronze SE37A's for my VR FD. Actually, I almost have enough for them but I'm wondering if I should keep saving for the enevitable zoom zoom boom!
