Yeah ...I like them, but these are the rims that I started
a thread about a lil while ago saying that he doesn't have
the key to the lugs so he can't get them off.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's probably because it isn't much lower than his

Yeah...it makes me a little mad. Whenever I get some more use out of my arm, I'm gonna see if I can preload them again. But here is another pic of my car compared to his, and my car looks a little lower than the ones above.

I'm thinking that him having 19's compared to my 18's has something to do with it also.

Thanks to you...but that was a pic I took before I found out about trimming the black guard on the bottom. I had to go back and do that.

We got a Drive-In about 30 minutes away. Good to just drive out there and check out the movies. We got regular movie theaters here, but at 9 bucks a head......no thank you.
