I like the new look, makes me want to change my wheels back to RPF1s.

Nothing new. Separated my AC joint in my shoulder snowboarding last weekend in Boone, NC. so haven't been able to drive 6 speed lately... however i did wash it and snap a couple pictures today with the new camera/lens.

Super clean. Sucks about your shoulder but hopefully it'll recover quickly. Lovin' it as always, keep up the awesome work.

Car looks good. I took a stupid and hard fall snowboarding yesterday....was sliding across a flat box, lost my balance and went on my toe edge, fell face first onto the snow/ice and then took the brunt of the impact on my right shoulder. Lots of pain and popping/cracking/restricted range of motion today. Sucks.

Same here....I guess I'm riding a lot faster on my snowboard than I am when skating a curb somewhere, and the snow isn't really too much softer than the pavement it turns out

Still my favorite Z on here. Did you ever think of doing a bronze or copper wheel setup? Maybe Plasti Dip if you get bored of the gold?

True, the Vintage Gold isn't a pure 24k gold color. I was thinking maybe this or another candy pearl. https://www.dipyourcar.com/Penny-Copper.html

I may just save up and buy a 2nd set of wheels to have. I want some more polished/big lip in my life lol. I really like the new ESM wheels coming out... 18x9.5/10.5 rears have a 6 inch lip. and around $1200 shipped. obviously just another ssr/works replica but hey idc. or just a set of varrstoens. that way i can change things up every now and then haha. i get bored really fast.

ESMs (coming out in march-april iirc)


maybe varrstoen es5?

+1 for the ES5. I feel like they suit your car better.
