This will be te third time I will paint it not counting the factory paint job. It will be the stock color it rolled off the line with Mellow Yellow. As for wheels I am leaning to Torque Thrust D's. That big and little tire thing dosen't get it for me as I am a hard fast driver. Image on tire and wheel size would end up killing me and wreck the car in that order the first time I leaned into a corner at 50 + mph. I am not up on the metric tire sizes but the rear's are equal to E-60-14's and the fronts 2 sizes smaller for sway bar and fender clearance, but still quite wide. It is the tire size combo that is on both Hornet's right now. The yellow car has had this combo on it for 3 years and it handle's and drive real nice so I did it on the orange car. I am a person of habit, the new interior going into the orange car is a milder 4 pass version of the one in the yellow car which is now a 2 seater with the 12 point roll cage.
