Is this your car? I loved it when I saw it on youtube...

That IS your car right? Looks like you finally got rid of the the heavy Soft 8's. I've been thinking about running a set of 17x9 soft 8s myself just so I can get a nice, wide 17 inch autocrss wheel for cheap, but the weight scares me off. Did you notice a big difference?
Either way, LOVE the car. It's got an awesome design philosophy and style.
