Cool Lesson- How to get cheap new wheels 101....pics

Step 1: Look at great car that you love on OEM wheels, and realize you want to be different.


Step 2: Find younger brother with 600hp turbo Lexus with tires so bald cords are showing...then offer swap for OEM 18s with brand new tires.

Step 3: Go outside and begin swap...but first dress warm because of teperature.


Step 4: After swap complete, go to local tire shop and invest on new set of Falken FK 452s or comparable tire....also make fun of ricer with prelude who spent money on new set of "2 piece" wheels...yes the black portion is platic that is bolted on to edges and centercap.


Step 5: Enjoy new look and performance of both cars.

...And yes i have new shocks and springs to lower car, but thats too damn cold...next 40+ degree day ill drop it, so no comments about gap lol.
