took a couple tonight but my camera sucks at night.
But here you go until I finish the rest of the car and do a good shoot in the spring.

Looking good buddy, I'm glad all of the parts made it out to you safely and that your shop was [eventually] able to figure out how to install it.

The way you packed everything, Fedex would've had to drop a pallet on the box to damage it.
Can't wait for the other goodies.
BTW, doing the install for the first time was a b!tch. I must have called Boris at least five times for tips.
These cars have too many hidden clips and screws. I've taken it apart a couple of more times for adjustments, and did it in half hour.

someone told me that running 30 series tires will damage the aftermarket rims, and damage the axles especially if you live in a not so clean smooth paved streets...is this tru? and how long will it usually hold out b4 the axle break?

I've never heard of that. I've been riding on 20", 30 series in the rear and hit a pothole occasionally and my car and wheels are solid.

I have OEM rims with tires already on them....so I swap between complete sets. That would be insane if I swapped tires...besides, they wouldnt fit on my stockers
I meant the complete sets...not the rubber...that's still insane though IMO! (but I guess if you've mastered it to only 15 minutes, then I guess it isn't that bad). Why the need to keep your rims dry if you don't mind me asking? Obviously less cleaning of the wheel is required....Originally Posted by G35papa

These are not the easiest wheels to clean...so, 15 minutes to swap them out equals about 45 minutes saved on cleaning them up later

I can't believe it's such an odd thing to you to swap wheels out
Guess I'm just use to working on my cars.G35Papa

Yes, less tire means your rims are closer to the contact surface so there is more potential for you rims to get damaged. As far as axles breaking, maybe if you are doing 80 and hit a significantly large pot hole but like Chico said, I've never heard of that happening. Originally Posted by Infinite_636

It's too late for you anyways, you ride looks pimp as is. You can't change it now

I prefer to swap out the car on a rainy day, but if I can't, I also take off my aftermarket wheels when driving in the rain. Better safe than sorry... Unfortunately, my backup wheels are going to have R-compounds on them so I've gotta get creative or buy another set.Originally Posted by G35papa
