I didn't realize how much work would go into it

They do look fantastic though.

Yeah, I've talked to that guy at length about his setup. He's @ -4 camber in the rear, and it still rubs like crazy. He's at the highest offset you can get the concave face too.

If I was willing to run more stretch maybe it could work, but I just can't make myself do it. I like dat meat...when it comes to wheel/tire setups

Somebody needs to come up on some ZE40s. Those things look good.

Honestly, that's what I'd really like. They're face 3 (concave) with 18x9.5 +45 specs (which is GD perfect).

The chances of me finding a used set in specifically the specs that I want are slim to none though

She looks so good. I miss that front end sometimes.

Those wheels may make a comeback some year with better fitment for sure. I have finalized the plan in my head. The problem is growing up and having other priorities that have taken place over the car unfortunately. Hoping to try and change that this year. Trying to pay off all my debt by the summer besides the house so I can start on the cars again.

Finally finished the stickers for this 5 year old model. The car has been sitting in the living room for years and I just now decided to put stickers on it.

I got fat this week. All I did was watch movies, eat, and drink beer since it was raining all week.


Took a month off work to do some traveling. Had some vacation days to use up.

Anyways I leave for Thailand Sunday, and will be out of the country for 2 weeks. Not sure if where im going has internet or wifi access.
Have not been back there since I was a baby so I don't really remember anything from there.


So ready to fly, especially the sounds of those massive plane engines starting and taking off. Not so ready for the long part the 12 hour flight though. And that's just to connect in
Tokyo Japan.

Have fun Bee! That sounds like an awesome trip!

I'm hoping to have the TL back within the next week. The repairs are complete but the shop hasn't received payment from the insurance company yet

Really couldn't tell you that much. Had them on the car while at school and the car was trailered to shows at that time so hardly put many miles on them.

The one thing I can tell you is they run a full size wider than most other tires.

I have them in 225/45/17 and they compare to many 235/45/17.

Liking the new layout better than having all of the forums rolled up and regions only accessible from the menu bar.

I didn't even know the toolbar had even changed. It honestly does not really look that different to me.

Also like Jack said what even is that Bryan?
