Damn, I had those exact SF's on my black Z, but I sold them when I sold the Z, because I didn't think it'd look good on my DG coupe but that was def my mistake, they look hot

Why do I think people should stop asking for photoshop requests of tires they like and that they should just ask you to buy the tires they want to see?

BTW - Can you please order a 2006 Sedan in Liquid Platinum so I can see what each set of your tires would look like on my car? Think about it, it would also give you a reason to buy more wheels.

Thanks for maintaining this thread. It is very entertaining. Out of curiosity (it is is fair to say): What percentage would you guess you lose every time you trade your rental wheels? It might be a trade secret (I mean, you might actually make money off each sell). But I was wondering how much someone should expect to lose each time they sell a used set of wheels.

Looking good, I might experiment with a different/paint the grill but other than that on point.

Thanks It helps me keep track too, and is an easy reference for all the PM's I get with pic requests and questions about specs. That's actually a question I've been asked quite a few times. Sometimes I lose money, sometimes I might make a couple bucks, but most of the time I just try to break even. Just depends on what I'm able to get, what I paid, and what I invested (new tires, mounting/balancing, repolishing, centercaps, valvestems & caps, etc...). Let me tell you, shipping is a killer!

Simple answer is, it always depends. Either way, I can't stop feeding the addiction! Can someone invent a gum or patch for this habit??

I had a UTR grille a couple years ago, when I also had the Stillen hood with the Stillen S/C. Honestly I don't really like the look of the aftermarket grille options on my own car. Reminds me too much of an EK Civic. I would love to get something, but there just doesn't seem to be anything out there that has caught my eye.
