Still looks like ass IMO. I really hate the look of the stock SS/NA wheels, it just looks like such an afterthought.

Josh, ever find out if that guy wants my stockers?

same diameter as stock, so no change in gearing, definitely a grippier tire. Just don't launch too hard and wheel hop won't be too much of an issue. Should definitely show an increase in quarter mile times though.
