Default I have 18's now...was thinking of going 19s or 20s

but decided to stay with 18s since I always like the design of these wheels, ever since I saw them on A6 4.2 Sport. Because they currently have crappy tires, I decided to go with high performance tires and go 1 size wider. Decided to stay 18s cuz I plan on tracking this car =)

Default Unlike most regular auto glass where

only the front and maybe the rear are UV blocking, security glass blocks UV all the way around. It makes the car quieter as noted, and also is much much harder to break. We had a demo where we smashed regular car glass in one blow with a small hammer. It took about 6 to 8 strikes to make a small hole in the security glass. Think about that if a piece of road debris flys your way, someone wants to break into the car, or you're dealing with road rage. It won' stop bullets, or really large objects, but it will slow down most other things.
