I keep the gangstas in jail. You can't help picking up some of their lingo. You heard?

 

Shane me and Wes were discussing where Bigfoot could be found around these neck of the woods

 

Thanks for the suggestion, Ajay. James is the one whom helped me with my HKS. The process of considering new wheels may have taken a new turn, now. A couple of weeks ago, I ran into a large pot hole on Montgomery Street here in downtown S.F. That incident really messed up my 2 passenger side rims. Man, the outer egdes of both lips got gouged pretty good . . . It's ugly looking. From what I understand, these are my options . . . 1) I need to take my wheels off of the car and have them repaired. That would present itself to be a big inconvenience. 2) Buy 2 new OEM 19" wheels at a cost of some $900 per wheel. 3) Buy new VOLKS!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmm . . . Choices, nothing but choices.

 

Looked like fun. =)

I will definitely make it to the next meet!

Andy,

I got both sets of my Challenges from F1-Motorsports in LA. I got killer deals on both sets... ask for Chris. They are in the vendor section.

 

Thanks, Chris. It seems that Chris at F1 is recommended by many members. I just need to decide on which Volk and color I want. I didn't think it was going to be this difficult deciding, assuming that I go ahead and get new wheels. Although, at the moment, I am pretty much on the other side of the fence . . . The Dark Side. No more new stuff, I keep telling myself.

Oh, btw . . . Chris, you'd better make it out to the next meet, I need to see your ride. Then again, you probably should stay home.

 

Mercury Silver would match up perfectly with your clean BS coupe. I think any other color might be too aggressive for someone your age - unless you decide to go for that drop.

 

Yes, Boris . . . The color will be Mercury Silver! Leaning more towards the Winnings over the Challenges and GT-C, now. Hey, is that due to my age? No, no drop for me. I already am dealing with too many driveway issues locally. Since, I don't plan on a drop . . . I am thinking about how agressive or not to go with the offsets.

 

Andy, I'll give you a nice deal on my GT-Cs...that is, when I work my way up to some HREs . Thanks for snapping some pics of my wheels, sorry I couldn't clean them up before the meet.

Brian,

Thanks for the offer. However, I just finally decided to go with Volk SF Winnings in 19x9.5" +19 front and 19x10.5" +29 back. Now, I am trying to figure out whether to go with the 245/275 or 255/285 tire combo. After seeing your GT-C's, I threw it into the mix along with the Challenges. It was a tough decision.

 

Just my two cents, but I think a 235 tire on a 9.5" wide wheel would be way too narrow.

 

Good catch, Eloy. I meant 245.

 

Andy, definitely go for the 255/285 combo. Every little bit of tire will help you in decreasing the wheel gap.

 

Still too narrow. I have a 275 tire on a 9.5" rim. 245 fits on an 8.5" rim.

 

Thanks, Boris . . . That's option #2. I think that look great. The 275 on the 10.5 looks a little stretched.

 

I have the 245 on my 9.5 fronts and 275 on my 10.5 rears. I REALLY REALLY wanted 255 and 285 but Chris @ F1 kept telling me that would not be good for my setup and he is the man when it comes to wheels and tires so I took his advice.

It DOES look stretched. It really took some getting used to. The main thing that concerns me is the NON-existent lip protection... My lips actually look like they will scrape the ground. Looks cool but not very practical for a daily driver. Makes my butt clench everytime I see potholes or rough roads. LOL.
