Well it's the same model wheel..

Just a bit more reasonable fit and and of course different finish..

And my tires just went down $100 a set because I can run a normal sized tire instead of stretched ones.

Can't wait to see pics, it's going to be a good look.

Nothing new with my car as of late, I'm trying to save money.

Once this month is over and I've moved to a different place, modding will start once again .. I'm thinking of getting a different intake manifold (possibly J35 IM) and ported runners when my valve adjustment gets done.

I spun out on a freeway onramp, smashed into a wall and pretty much did a complete 360 and my rear end slammed into another wall. Thankfully the airbags didn't deploy and there were no other motorist involved.

The scariest part wasn't the crash / impact, it was the fact there were cars wizzing by on a 1 lane oncamp while my car has no power and facing the adjacent wall. If I remember correctly, the nose of my car was about 5ft into the lane itself.

Thankfully after the 5th crank, the car started and I managed to limp it into a neighborhood out of harms way. Hairy stuff.

I have nobody to blame except myself. This is my first car I've totaled with a very clean driving record .. live and learn I guess.

RIP
