Aftermarket Wheels
A perfectly fitted set of wheels is key to not looking like an idiot on the street. Search online forums pertaining to your car and find a set that someone else has fitted right to your platform and run with it.

Great Tires
Having a grippy tire means the world when the tire is the part of the car that transfers the power to the ground. Don’t compromise here.

If track goals aren’t in the works just disregard just like the roll cage, but aero is sick!
