That's a good product if you have your front crash bar/no intercooler. So it should work well for Kyle.

Making one wouldn't be hard, just need to get to home depot and brain storm.

I have looked at the stillen before but I think I have an idea on what I can do it just using the L brackets.

Guessing its due to the younger crowed just buying wheels that look cool but damn its painful to see.

Just saw yet another one at Wegmans. Had wheels that looked like Alberto's but had offsets that looked worse than the stock wheels. Almost daily now I see chit done Zs.
Nothing wrong with the RPF1s, only other Z's I have seen them on are Mikes and I think Goof had them at one point. Least I didn't go EBay special

RPF1 is a good wheel, it's the first set of wheels you wanted with the wack offset that I was talking about.

RPF1 is a very common but very good wheel. I wouldn't think twice about running them with some nice rubbers.

The RPF1s are solid wheels in terms of weight and build quality. Look wise I never thought those spokes design look good on our cars. And they always come with weak offsets. It's a good compromise between practicality, look(even though they look mediocre), and price.

They are available in +15... Several here would not consider that weak. Some aren't even running +15 right now.

Good luck trying to get a set of those in +15 for a good deal. The hellaflush fools are jacking the used wheel prices up.

All depends on the person.

First thing I did when I got my car was went from roof to tires and pulled damn near everything off and put it back on, had the front suspension out, brakes at all 4 corners off, front passenger side hub, removed/reinstalled 2 axles, replaced sway bar bushings, replaced axle seals, transmission seals, exhaust removed/reinstalled transmission fluid replaced, rear dif fluid, all engine fluids, replaced orings on dip stick, had interior out, half the dash apart, radio removed and reinstalled, all 4 wheels have been off, sandpapered, buffed, and waxed... That was before I dropped it off at andrew tech for them to do a 1 over on the car and get it tuned.

All without 1 month of getting it.

Yup I bought a turn key car.

Care to talk about what you've done to YOUR car? How about you list the mods on your car? I can tell you everything on my car since I've had everything off it before putting it back on.



I'm just messing with ya, but based on your quote, you drive Anhs car.
lol ouch.. at least he bought a body kit for the car!

E10 I know what you mean by the look of the wheel when I first saw them I didn't think they looked that great then I realized all the Z's that I find that look great have that same spoke design so eventually it grew on me. Everyone has different taste and that's why we mod the car to our liking. Although try not to add to much personality(rice)

Such criminals! I could of been walking there!

Those ladies were ridiculous. Although I don't think it was a good decision for those people to do that, I also think cops should spend time catching real criminals...

Wasn't sure if this warranted it's own thread but figured I'd ask anyways since others might find it informative as well. Which home insurance company are the Mid-A homeowner's using? I currently have AHS and luckily have never had to put in a claim for anything, but looks like I may need them for some work. My policy is due to re-up soon. Someone just called my phone at work from an unrecognized number, I Googled the number and turns out it's my insurance company and one of the first sites I see is how badly they suck:

http://www.pissedconsumer.com/review...-shield/1.html

Now I'm thinking I don't want them if they've got such a horrible reputation with customers. Just curious who you guys are using or who you'd recommend.

For all my homes I had USAA. Never had a problem.
