I love those rims and that interior.

Thanks steveo, actually going to delete the yellow this time. I posted a few pics in my build thread showing the panels in black ultra suede w/ a CF arm rest that's going in, in place of the yellow one.
The wheels are OZ Superleggera? 18"x8", unfortunately I think they will be way to narrow for my car in this phase. I plan on selling them if they don't fit on my wife's Lexus.

Need a wider rim for more traction do to more power I am assuming?

Exactly, the car was making 297 RWHP before this build and I could easily spin the tires in 3rd. I could end up doubling the HP now, so I'm looking to use a 10"-10 1/2" in the rear and 9" in the front. Even with that set up traction will be a problem, as IJ said "just a wider patch of rubber laid down".
The only real way to make the HP more usable would be to add traction control. If funds permit, I'm thinking about adding that and replacing the
AEM EMS w/ MoTeC to control it. Hopefully that could happen next winter,
depends entirely on the economy and the "play" $$$$ that I might have available. Right now I just want to get this phase done.

you're forgetting you already have traction control.... it's your right foot ;-)

Thought I'd add my 1991 to the mix. This car was super red and an auto when I bought it. I was tired of trying to find a black '91 or '92 near me, so I made my own version. First picture was taken last week, paint is over 6 years old. Car has a complete front poly bushings, full 3 inch downpipe and exhaust, shine "H" front lip, stock '91 rims that are chrome powdercoated and caps chrome plated. Next up is black leather to complete the look of what I was trying to find.
