Sounds great

I might add 10mm to rear, just 10 and only rear so it kind of matches front...but that's even maaaaay be

No way in the world spacers for front. That will make me think my car got sloweeeeerr

Hey Anil...where you been?
It's the RDX cover that everyone does...I just sanded and painted it.

Thank you!
Yeah, i don't know what the deal is with AZ and posting from Flick Her.

So focused on me didn't notice your move Tyler...congrats, man...new places can be fun!

So, I'm a green light for an alignment today. I went to lunch with 4 full size dudes in the car...me plus about 630 pounds...some slight rubbing, but nothing too bad. I'm getting an alignment at this height. Any lower and I'll be rubbing like crazy and again, not willing to lose that stellar camber.

J; I may be the odd one out but I dont think this new set up is "better" than your old one.


But i can confidently admit that it is equally as sweet as your old set up.

and i definitely can understand the appeal of the ride quality on 18's. Having been on my vossens for a while now i love the ride on my aspecs!

Win win win.

Brother, I feel you..."better" may be a little harsh to my works. Honestly, they are clean and stacked up in my upstairs bedroom. I know myself so I ensured I have the option of going back before ever making such a drastic decision. I can assure you I WON'T be keeping all 3 sets of wheels though. As it stands, the advans are light, ride PERFECTLY down the road, give me the contrast and concave I was desperately looking for.

Yeah J, I'm liking the look of the new wheels. I think someone already mentioned this (MEKO maybe?) but it compliments the other gunmetal/silver parts on the car like the sidemarkers, lower lip on the front aspec, etc. This was what I was aiming for when I bought the XXR 530s in chromium black.

And the blue as the accent color is still fantastic.

OCD ALERT



Please rotate the center cap ~45* counter-clockwise so the top of the A points straight down the spoke that splits ADVAN and RACING.

Its driving me fucking nuts.






Speaking of which, if I saw your car in person, I would totally nut on its trunk.

See ya next week!!

I wish that was true, brother...but I know you're a lie.
Okay, you'll be happy to know that I have Ginuwine Advan Racing center caps on their way currently and these are temporary. I'm not sure how I'll position them yet, but I'll keep that in mind. Since it has words on it, I'll probably run it with the spoke writing.

This trunk is meant for nutting, and that's just what you'll do...one of these days this Morgan will NUT ALL OVER YOUUUUUUUU
