Yeah, curious about the wheels... they look just like the American steelies I have on the Caprice, but I see a sticker on the front proclaiming "Diamond Racing Wheels." Just decoration?

They are Diamonds. 15x8's with 4" backspace.
Track width increase of about 8 inches!!
225 fronts, 245 rears. BFG's. treadwear 220.

Wheels, tire, brakes and a whole list of other things are considered 'safety items'.
They do not count towards the $500 value.

Gonna really be stressing the front suspension, cv joints, etc.

I REALLY don't understand why you don't have some vinyl letters on your back window spelling out something like this as a shout out to your online cheering section...

PELICAN THIS!
