Thanks!
Lol sorry man I misunderstood your question last time! Ive been using P21s wheel cleaner. It works good if you clean your wheels often. But I haven't let them get very dirty yet so I can't really say if it will do a good job on the calipers too. But thats what I plan on using. I'm always open to suggestions though!

Update!!
I decided to get myself a new bike instead of modding the car for now. I also started school so the mod funding is going waaayyy down But the bug is still biting! Now heres my problem. aspec kit or rims. I am definitely going to need rims this spring but i found what i think is a good deal on some forgestars. $800 with tires. Specs are 19x9 +38. Heres the problem one is curbed pretty bad (pic attached below) What do you guys think? should i jump on them? or just let them pass?

$800 with tires (assuming there's still tread), is cheap. That's also assuming there's only one curbed wheel and the others are in good shape. I say do it.

Thanks man! I love it! And yea I know he curbed it pretty good.
That's exactly what I was thinking. And he said 2 others have a scratch on them and the last one is perfect. I'm not so worried about scratches as you won't be able to see them unless you're right up close. I guess I'm just looking for someone to convince me to jump on them! I'll contact him and get a little more info.
And as far as weight, I did actually want 18's cause you get a little bit of both performance and looks but I can't let a good deal just pass me by!!

I didn't get a chance to put them on today. I'll get them on this weekend or monday. But until then here are some pictures from my phone!
Does anyone know how I can find out what the hub bore is on the wheel? Or if I will need hub rings?
Also is the 20c the offset? Because they were advertised as +35

Thanks Steven! I put 2 of them on to see how they looked and they look very good but my car is screaming for a drop!! I should have a couple pictures up soon.
Thanks man, that really means a lot coming from you! You have a beautiful car by the way!! I'm trying to learn from everyone else's mistakes so that i don't have to do anything twice, just can't afford to be doing things that way right now! lol Next mod is definitely going to be a drop. still going back forth between coils and springs and springs with koni's
Yea the red ones are limited edition ones and from what I've been reading they're pretty rare. I am super excited to have them! and the price that I got them for makes me even happier!

Here are the pictures. My car is disgusting so please ignore how dirty it is. Commuting is really testing my OCD. It was also starting to get dark so the pictures aren't the greatest.

Thanks guys!! But the bike is staying! Winter is just around the corner up here so the snows are going on soon. But coils/spring are on my xmas list!! The car will be dropped either over winter or in the spring. I promise!
Right now I need centre caps and lug nuts. I'm thinking red or black locking lugs...anyone have some suggestions?? I have no idea what the good ones are.

Thanks man! I'm very happy with how they look. And the drop is coming over the winter. The wheels are only going to be on for a couple weeks, maybe a month at most. Then it will be that time of year to put the snows on I'm actually looking at the XLR8 ISC coilovers. How do you like yours?

Could someone help me figure out which hubcentric rings I need off this site? I've never seen them listed like this lol. From all my research the rims have a 73mm bore and obviously the car is 64.1mm.

Lookin great, man.
Here are a cheap alternative that will get the job done for the hubcentric rings.
PS...what are you looking for with coils?
Are you looking to slam it as low as possible? If so, sounds like the ISC's are the way to go.
The Tein SS (or Advance now called) are great for a softer more forgiving ride, but don't slam as low. If you check my build thread you'll see what they look like maxed out.
Don't want to clutter your thread with my pics.
