grunge i only like the ones with black inside the cut :D sorries i think all black wheels give off a "does that nice car have a spare tire on...wait 4 spares....?...oh he just has black wheels" the chrome lip of the gt-f do offset that a bit but still its what i think normally when i see all black wheels.

@phren Can you get a better picture of the wheels straight on? Because...

@9k & phren not all of the GT-F's have the MDC on the face. There's "Chrome silver" which is just a uniform silver color spoke and chrome lip. If that's what you have, then the painting might be easier, but to get the look, you'd still want a good painter.

Also... the car that made me choose GT-F's.

My new wheels suck lol. I already have a list of crap that I'll need though. I need a boost gauge and brakes first... I also need tires, so I'll probably try to take care of wheels and tires at the same time if I can...

28 pounds of "meh"...

Here is a pic prior to getting owned in paintball by the big guy and 6 of his teammates We were outgunned (they had their own high dollar gear) and our athletic ability was pathetic compared to those guys. All in all though he is a great guy and I learned he tracks a GT-R at Harris Hill so we had some nice car conversations as well. Tim is a stand up guy with a wonderful personality. Plus he games, plays paintball, and tracks cars. What else is there, Hell of a guy. More pics to follow.

This was last week, George Hill, Jefferson, some rookie, and three unknowns were on his team. 7 on 7. My boss and I were invited our friend Senator Carlos Uresti. Tim apparently plays fairly often, his team was very good. Next time though I will use Grungepup's gear if I can and it should improve the odds as we were using crappy house gear.

Yeah it was but not for me, I don't get caught up in that BS. Tim was real chill, I was impressed. We should all get together and play, let's do it!

I did with Tim Duncan We have meets fairly often it just slows down in the summer due to heat and because lately the cops have been busting up the local meets. But, we are doing a run next weekend hopefully so keep checking the Gulf forums.
