Shout out to TireRack! They sent me a sticker packet following the tire purchase I made a couple weeks ago.

also, for anyone interested in the Hankook V12 Evo K110s, they have them on blowout pricing to get rid of them and make room for the new Evo 2 (i think they're called).. I bought some 255/40/18 and 275/40/18 which normally would have been $800ish + shipping, and i got them for $476 plus shipping!

Good deal on the tires, can't beat free advertisements.

Lol, as dumb as it may sound, in any notes section for any purchase i make, i always kindly ask "You guys have any stickers you want to include so I can represent yall?"

and it works... i have a full box of decals from numerous companies i have parts from. only decals on my car are for CIN & Z1 Motorsports though

Welp.. Nothing new with the Z. Something nice should be coming in next week or so.

I've been on vacation past 2 weeks. First time going to the Bahamas. Took the Carnival Fantasy cruise with my girlfriend.. What a blast. Figured I'd throw some pics up that i snapped with the dslr.



White house on left was said to be one of Michael Jordan's vacation homes.



Atlantis on Paradise Island. Top rooms cost $25k per night to stay in.

Alright guys what you think...

Should I trade my varrs for some 18x9.5 +27 enkei nt03s (square setup). F1 silver. I know financially it's a better deal for me. But as far as how it will look... What do y'all think. I know I'll probably need spacers all around. We'll be keeping our own tires.

Just coming here for opinions I suppose

No vote for me, I know some people drool for these wheels but they never did it for me. Doesn't even come close to coming off the bag.

Not to mention the size/offset not being the best.

Specs kind of sucks, but enkei > varrdogs.

go for it.. enkei much better asset to keep than vars..

you never know when you might hit the track or join AutoX. these will be good wheels.

offset can be solved by spacers, size is not bad either. am running square setup 9.5 kiwamis

I think I am going to go through with the trade... Tires will be 255/40 275/40 for now. Thinking a 25mm spacer in rear and a 20mm spacer in the front. I do miss having lightweight wheels lol. These are 19.9lbs a piece

I'm with John (Enkei > Varrdoggs) but yours is one of the few that I even respect that runs reps because your car is constantly changing so I feel like they'll never be there long lol
