Our roads will suck until June...That's a guarantee.
AVmag, has +9 & +12 offset *iirc*.. He has the most baller offsets I have seen, around..

But saying that wheels make your ride the most "aggressive Z"?.. I would have to disagree...
IMO, you need the whole package to be given that title *well sans FI*

-Body Kit
-Wheels
-Exhaust
-Brakes
-Interior

My car is lowered all the way on hks coilovers and I rub like under my car hit a bloody raised sewer once and I can't go over 90% of speedbumps so now imagine u slammed on stance coilovers u will be able to go up and down ur street at most if u can even get outta ur driveway. But looks cool I guess

I worked on all the graphics and animation. We had a team of 12 designers at Vancouver working 24 hours around the clock. We were split up into two 12 hour shifts. It was a lot of blood, sweat and tears for just over a year but I beilieve CTV and the Consortium had the best Olympic coverage that any of us has seen. Sorry for sounding being biased.

Im not sure if remember the Opening animation with the Long Track Speed Skaters bursting through the crowd of Canadian Fans. If so, that is an example of some my and many others hard work.

So you didnt really get to enjoy the games since you were busting your *** to make it look amazing for everyone else to enjoy?

no offense bro

It's funny but I actually feel I was closer to the games. The first few days were hard but once we started winning gold we all became spectators. Heck... I got to see all the Gold medal winners in person. In fact the Hamelin bros. were in the lineup behind me at our cafeteria in the IBC. It was an amazing experience.

I can' t wait to see AVMags car when it's done. I don't think i've seen a car as slammed as his with those offsets driving around.

Yea I don't know how you do it...I had to raise my car last year from scrapage on stock bodykit cuz i'm impatient going over speed bumps haha. And some of the plazas I go too, the ramps are really steep going up - you would have to park somewhere else with your kit or it'll take it right off ;p

the kit itself isn't too too bad, it's all the "extras" like the $2,500 titanium strut brace which is insane

Yeah the city was absolutely crazy last few nights... I've never high fived as many people in my life.

I saw a few nice Zeds out there but nothing as nice as some of the guys in the GTA

Hey Ed - how about a sweet Vancouver 2010 t-shirt for an osiris license
