Alright after riding a while on the 18s, and after a trip to the mountains it was time for them to come off. So back to stock alloys. Also got the Magnaflow muffler put on since the stock muffler had a hole in it. Also had my headunit from my truck and some subs in the car....got tired of the subs as well., and sold them.

((((( applause )))))

this is gooood stuff, brb .. going to pop some corn

it is good to know the story of the wheels, I was so close to buying some identical to those 18z, but decided it was too much metal too close to the asphalt.. need more rubber and less suspended weight for that to work. In other words, lowered car and tighter spwings.. lol
wonder what happened to Estimated ?

those wheels you have now are so complicated looking, nice though. but from a glance look like S-10 steelies .. no offense, now that i know what they are I appreciate the look.. more pics? more story...

Fully Painted rear.
