I just purchased the wheels and tires a few weeks ago. If my memory recalls correctly the fronts are 7 X 17 ET 53 and the rears are 9 X 17 ET 47. Running 225/40 front and 255/40 rear. They look and handle much better than the phone dials.

So since my car is down, I'm finally getting to the upgrades. Before I had the "wierd noise" up front I got the windows tinted 20% all around...looks great! As soon as I can get the car to a shop the "noise" will be fixed.
Just ordered some parts from Nichole....going replace the amber turn signal on the front bumper to clear so all the lights acrossed the front will be clear. Next I'm replacing the front turn signal indicators with smoked ones....should take away from your eye getting caught by that amber indicator. Plus with the tinted windows I think this will look very good.
For the rear window, I'm using the black window molding trim Hooked sells to go over the chrome trim. Should also have the car flow more smoothly.
After all this is done, I'm going to start replacing headlight and foglamp bulbs with xenon ones. Something that adds that blueish tint to the lamsp. Convert the rear license plate light bulb to an led to give it more of a high-end car look.
Vanitey plate for front and rear are in the mail, just waiting for the DMV to get them to me.....I'll post a pic once I get them on....I think Ferrari guys will like it
Any more ideas???

Not my car and It's not red, but I really like the look/stance of this one:
If you look closer it seem to have GTS mirrors, custom exhaust, fat rims, raised lettering on the rear and a lowered suspension. the rest is original, but very clean
Red cars with black details looks great too as long as it's not taken too far. Keep the red paint deep and glossy and the black details must be completely black.

and matches the white lettering.Ken
