I gotta say you put a lot of money it where i think a 15/16 wheel set would have made more sense... or better use of money to performance/weight gains... changes in wheel weight and tire weight give you between 1.5 and 2x the performance gain of a non rotating part (almost everything else). And reducing the rim diameter get's you another hiden benefit associated with spinning weight.

Just food for thought. Smaller rims and an SC or turbo would be my first two purchases if i was interested in spending any money (on performance/handling). Maybe next a higher geared steering box (so you don't have to turn the wheel so much) and a set of adjustable coilovers.

You'll have quite a car when you'll all done with it.
