Nice! Your progress is coming along very well and offsets aren't too bad . IDK why people are paying attention to the BBS center caps, when the OP used: They're wrong. Shouldn't it be they are? /red text lol.

thank you sir! i enjoy it, and people thinking i'm pretty good is a good reason to keep going haha. i always worry i'll offend the photographer by doing so

edit, OP are these real? or linea corse? wondering because of the red centers...supposedly those would only fit real BBS instead of 'bb5' wheels but that seems to have changed in the last year

No they're not real bbs. I didn't know that though, so you're saying the caps since they're bbs shouldn't fit on reps?

that was my understanding of it, but i'm probably wrong.

I believe the replica caps and authentic caps are different sizes. I believe BBS uses 70mm caps(could be wrong though) and the replicas are 68mm(which is what all the LM replica wheels use).
quick search and this is basically what i remembered. so i guess nevermind since you can find them easily for reps

camry's are the shit... i had one for about 4 months that was 94' white, i treated that shit for what it was, being stupid hittin trashcans in the middle of the road nd what not.

then i got into a newer camry... that was fun, didnt beat up on it so much though.

then i got a tl-s

idk what it is but kids in my town have far nicer cars then i do... i come from a town where kids are driving mercedes, brand new 2012 beamers and they're only 17... its crazy. when i was freshman i remember a senior was driving an e90 m3 srt8's, etc.

one of my very close friends had his brothers sl 600 for a weekend, v12 in a roadster... its safe to say we had some fun that weekend with the top down and all. cops would actually pull him over thinking it was his brother LOL. but i remember getting on this long road and putting the pedal to the floor. when i hit 100 mph what felt like 5 seconds i slowed the F down and switched with my boy. too much power for me.
