omg, if Bgl only posts one pic per post, this could take a while...

 

Big thank you to the host/hostess of the party.
Another big thanx for the use of the truck to go get . . . . the new mod.

I will go clean the car and take a pic or two soon.

 

That was it. I only had a couple

 

hmmm... wonder what this 'new mod' can be. If it required a truck, I think I know exactly what it is...
(I'll wait for pics though)

 

not a TRUNK! and TRUCK! where is Captain Spelchek when you need him?

 

wheels.

couple questions. . . . . ;

The TPMS did not start beeping at me, should it? Or do these have the sensors in them?

Why does my car look raised again? The tires arent that much different are they?( 98 vs. 96.25mm tall . .. right?)

 

did you pick up Keiths' wheels???

 

toca's wheels. The Work whatevers (emotions? kai )

18x8.5 and 18x9.5

Just ordered the new tires too. Falken Azenis RT615

YOU RUINED THE SURPRISE!!!! :-) Just couldn't stand it huh?

 

can't remember what tocas wheels looked like. I spent too much time trying to avoid him that I never took time to look at his car.

 

No need to surprise anybody. . . . . you are right though, I should have waited until next meet.

congrats, those should look pretty good on your car.

 

you going to sell your stockers to recover part of the cost?

 

No, I figure I am gonna put new rears on these Work wheels, (275/35/18) and when all the rubber is gone, sell them. Somebody on the forum here will pay me more than what I am in to them for. And my stockers still have brand new Nitto Invos on them. 245/40/18 all the way around.

 

wow... didn't know meat loaf joined your party.

 

so you're only going to keep these wheels for a short while? Put new rear tires on, tear up the tires, then sell all the wheels???

Keep in mind how hard it is to sell wheels; look at how long Loren has been trying to sell his.

 

which is funny, when I tried to sell my Axis, I had like 6 people waiting to buy them. they were very easy to sell.

(then I decided to keep them on the car since I had the wing and interior, I figured it gave it the "unique" look for selling it.)

 

jedi keep in mind the price i am trying to sell these for is not near what beagle will be trying to sell this for later. Plus a saggered setup and even 18" may sell quicker.


shhhh....we passed the lax guys

 

Ya, I am gonna sell these things for cheap. I got them for a good deal, so I can buy tires (just backs, fronts are good) and when they are toast, sell the wheels for what I paid for wheels & tires






275 meat!!!!
you can see the old (narrow) tires marks in the garage.

 

looking great jake! just curious are you going to buy any of the stock areo body parts?

 

damn beagle! that looks insanly sexy! those are one of my favorite wheels! and they look perfect on your car! just lower it a bit, and gudayum! i cant believe you want to sell them though

 

It is sitting on tein springs.
And I like the look of the stock wheels better, I just wanted to try out some fat sticky rubber for a bit.

And I have no plans to buy any body kit parts.
