The wheels are American Torque Thrust that actually fall into the T100 class. The front is 7" with 235-60R15 and the rear is 8" with 255-60R15.

Not yet. I just have one picture of the rear wheel. I haven't moved it outside to get full photos yet. I will try to do that this weekend.

Nice stance. You mentioned you thought too low before? Hey, did you just cut out the "window" for the exhaust tips or fab a wrap around on the ends?
