I never drove on the Meisters. I put them on to see if i liked them and to see how the specs was gonna work with my car. I was planning on buying them but my buddy that had them wasn't able to find any other wheels so he just kept them.

My road to running a semi aggressive setup.

After seeing Donpisto and 4drmadness setup, I knew i wanted a similar setup. But with me driving an estimated 50K miles this year I figure the super aggressive setup wasn't going to be practical.

As I searched the forum and saw TycoRC and Candlestickpark setup, i figured i wanted to be around 8.5 +20 and 9.5 +20 setup.

Now that i figured out what specs to go with I had to figure out what tire brand and what size would be good for a slight stretch... My conclusion was that I needed to buy either Generals or Falkens for a 225 35 for a 9' setup and 255 35 for a 10.5 setup.

Coilover decision write up later.

No the gram lights aren't for sale they are my cousins wheels. He bought them for a project car that not running. Pretty lucky that I get to roll on them b4 he does.
