Like me researching for diet plans, you can research all you want but aint going to happen...EVER!

 

Haha . . . the pressure is on. Good thing I left myself pleny of time to figure something out!

Thanks for the photochop, David. Looks gooooooood!

 

LOL . . . I thought you were looking rather slender these past few times I've seen ya!

 

I'm biased..... JLines!!!!
I got my rims/tires before I did anything else.

Yeahyeah I need new pictures. We need to organize a picture day.
Back to my corner now.

 

Yeah but you car looks awsome!!!

Yes we do need to set up a photo day!!!

 

Shane... what can I say. I don't throw all my money into my car. You have to realize I just turned 21, I'm a full time student, and I work. Making $4000-$5000 wheel purchases doesn't come easy.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. Mommy and Daddy didn't buy my G. Mommy and Daddy didn't pay for a years tuition at UC Davis. I did. At 21, dumping nearly $40,000 into those two "items" set me back enough.

I like to do one thing at a time, because when I buy something, I like to pay for it in full. Maybe I should have just financed my car and dumped cash into it. However, I feel I made the smarter decision.

As much as I love cars, there are so many other expenses I have to deal with. One day I will get wheels for my car. One day I will get coilovers for my car. One day I will do this and that, but I like to take one thing at a time. Sure, if the money was available I would do it, but I have more important things, like saving for my future. At the end of the day, experiences with the girlfriend/friends is > than having mods on the car.

I find no harm in doing research on wheel manufactures. $4k-$5k is a big investment and I would sure hate to spend it on the wrong item. One thing I noticed is that you have to be selective of how you take advice from the forums. Looks at shops like International Autobody or headlights specialists like IvoryGT. So many people rave about them but at the end of the day, their work is so-so.

Anyways, I just felt like I had to say something. Sorry if I don't mod my car to everyones else's standards.

 

It shouldnt cost 4~5k for rims, my iForged only costs 2600 and you could get Tu's GT-S for 2500 but thats besides the point tho...just put down your foot and get some ready already...Unless you are seriously looking for 335 or better yet S5...
It isnt all that different than say reviews on restaurants, no matter how good or bad it is, it worth little until you experience it yourslef...

Whatever you do? just dont talk to Johnson about mods would ya?...

 

or you could go my route - 19" wheels & tires for less than $1250

 

Shane...

I really wanted JLine 10RL3's but after doing research, I learned that JLine is pretty much a one man company and any type of support is pretty much impossible.

My other choice would be the DPE S-10 from the Signature series. Color choice would be Phantom Black or Brushed Aluminum. I am most likely going to go with the DPE's.

As for a timeline, I think I will get them sometime this coming year.

 

Well, my car does come with your wheels stock.

As for wheels, I really want 3 piece wheels from a brand like DPE, Jline, IForged, etc.

Volks are cool but I just don't want them. They are awesome wheels and are probably much more durable than any other brand but I really want more of a "custom" wheel.

 

haha... Can't do that. I may end up with Sedan offsets on my Coupe. Sorry Johnson, had to.

 

oh, right - forgot that your car already has my wheels, lol

my bad! (just goes to show not to listen to me for mod advice either...)

 

just wait till i sell my peice of crap and roll up in a meet with my brand new shiny built Nsx

 

any time soon? NSX huh?

 

Very cool, but do hope you arent going to do any mods to it ...Let's see who get what first, Giacomo get his rims or Johnson get his NSX? I dont know about anyone else? but my money is on Johnson on this one...
