thanks! that wreck was bad I broke so much on the car. both front and rear wheels, suspension parts, knuckles, axles, frame was bent, ect... I'm surprised the car was able to drive straight again. I think I hit the concrete wall at about 40 mph so I don't think the wheels were cheap or anything like that rpf1s are still great wheels imo

I agree. I love them as track wheels and they don't look too bad. I also saw your car in some The Chronicles pics by the homie sticky diljoe. Love your car.

As soon as I get it back from Cody for the cage and hydro I'll start a thread! Don't have enough content right now. I'm getting antsy, only a few more weeks and we'll be on track!
