sigh...stop being so quick to pull the trigger. I know enough people in the VIP scene to share useful information. ITS JUST SPECIFICALLY FALKEN 452. there has been almost 10 cases specifically related to that tire with extreme stretches of bubbling? coincidence? Perhaps its because the platforms are heavy build sedans, but nonetheless it has happened repeatedly.

you're a wheel collector or whatever, go do some research. I'll steal a quote from reading rainbow, "you don't have to take my word for it"

again if you want to discuss more with me, use PM, cus i dont want to thread jack this great thread. Sickest aggressive sedan.

I guess it's just me but I don't like it. It looks to me like wheels made for a different car that were put on this one. They just don't look like they fit.

Not trying to be a dick but that's my opinion. I don't mind being the minority.
