I can't help you with the wheels except for saying that you could just plasti dip the silver ring and they would be all black. Or get other wheels. As for exhaust, I just installed the MRT V2 axle back on my 2lt and it is amazing!!! I bought it from Apex (a sponsor on here) and I fully recommend getting it from them. Good luck

+1 on mrt v2. Love the exhaust. Gives the car a much deeper sound.

If you have the money, get aftermarket wheels.

If you want the best deal, just grab a set of SS wheels from the board here. Sets pop up all the time from people that upgraded to aftermarket.

Get rid of those heritage wheels.

Those heritage wheels are the worst thing about the 5th gens IMO. They should've at least done something like the plain 1LT wheels.

I wouldn't plasti-dip them on the HW, the silver cap actually looks better. The PD on regular wheels do look quite good though.
