Honestly, I'll probably base my final decision on price as well. If a vendor on here can give me a really good deal for wheels and tires (Pilot Super Sports) together, that might help to sway my decision. There are so many nice wheels out there! Haha

Wheels are a struggle, but when you add to it that I just got the car not long ago and don't have a lot of disposable cash, its not just wheels that are the struggle, its the "What do I want to do first/next?" struggle. Wheels are they only thing I have't gotten a good grasp on what I want, I think it's because I want to do some other things before wheels and they are quite daunting to think about, especially if you want something that not everyone has.

I want Wheels (undecided, stay 19s or go 20s? keep stock width or go wider?)
I want Exhaust (Motordyne e370)
I want Intakes (Takada Long Arm)
I want a front lip/bumper (undecided, leaning to Zele)
I want a Rear diffuser (Autokits V2)
I want a AutoKits X hood (which would require a respray/wrap of car).

Haha if only we had a bottomless pit of cash to blow, right? As for your choices:

I am also on the dense of 19s or 20s. I love the look of 20s, but 19s are lighter and better for performance. As for price, the 20 wheels cost more but the 19 tires cost more... The struggle. As for width, I definitely want to go wider.

Exhaust: since I have an X, my options were limited but the motordyne sounds awesome (in video at least) haven't actually heard it in person.

Intake: I went with short ram since I was worried about water plus it's easier to clean and looks awesome. I got r2c.

Bumper: the zele is definitely an awesome choice. I got a good deal for ipl so I just went that route. I also didn't know what I would do with my fogs since I have a 2011.

I really like the rear diffuser and hood. I went with ipl rear to go along with the front. The hood looks sweet but I want to spend my money on others before getting a hood lol.

They've only been out since Febuary IIRC, 19s will blow your $2k budget though But hey, pretty tasty setup

Man, I really like the 57C6 in blue, but they don't come bigger than 18s

I am selling my lightly used 20" Forgestar CF10 wheels, just as an FYI. Lightweight and good looking wheel with a nice concave profile at a savings. I ran these on my AWD coupe.

Thanks for the offer but I'm not super crazy for those wheels. I'm so picky with wheels lol, just cause it is something I will likely keep on for a while. But I already follow your build thread, sweet ride. I actually used your diy for aluminum pedals.
