I got the VX wheels on this afternoon. They fit fine without modifications.

VX wheels look nice. Doing it for looks or efficiency?

Efficiency. These wheels weigh less than 23 pounds each with the 155/80 tires on there.

Congrats on the second car!
My turn to ask questions!-What did you use to seal the hood gaps? I noticed on mine that if I look through the side of the hood gap, I can see straight out the other side as well as out the front. So I will definitely seal around the perimeter of hood.
I was thinking of using the sticky house door/window gap foam strip that comes in rolls.
Another question: Do you think there is enough airflow with just the lower slot open?
Car is looking good!
