Some new pix (BB8)

Was a damn nice day yesterday...went up to 70 here in Chicago so took some pix=) And I installed the clear corners/strakes/ LED's in corners and parking lights.

Bad news is, later that day i bent one of my rims and the two passenger side tires got slashed on the sides.So now I need new tires on the passenger side front and abck=( Waste of my money cuz my current tires so so spanking new.

According to your sig you have Tenzo's right? Sorry but cant see the pics, Im at work. No offense but Tenzo's are crap. I'd suggest you sell them and replace them with better quality rims espacially if your going to drive in a pothole infested Chicago.

I ended up buying an individual rim for 225. And 2 new tires for 95$ a piece. Grand total will be around 500. And when I got of working i got a ticket on my sisters cavalier that I took to work. Ticket was for not having/displaying city sticker. When it was clearly there...F'n chicago cops are idiots. no offense to any if your here. 120$ parking ticket that i will fight tomorrow=p

Well here the rim after I hit the damn tracks, And the tire got f'ed up pretty bad too. So I had to buy 2 new tires because the tires got torn and the rim got bent. But what I want to know is, Is it worth keeping and putting it on or just buy a new one.

So with 225/40R18, you don't mind the speedo being off?
