Hi everyone, I've thinking about making some custom parts for our cars. Obviously the first step I'm taking is mocking everything up in CAD. Before I do anything though it would be extremely helpful to have a highly accurate 3D model of the car, or at least some resource that has specific...

I'm very conflicted as to whether I should get 17 or 18 inch (x8.5) enkei rpf1s. 17 inch PROS 16.3 lbs Better ride quality Better acceleration (very small) $990 Much cheaper tires ($700 mpss) CONS 332mm max brake rotor size (4piston) Less attractive...
