current tire set up are falken rk453... i KNOWWW what you all will say i was better off with the 595rs-rr, but these tires i bought last minute since the warehouse was out of toyos, re71r, rs3 and 595rsrr in my size or back order and i need the car driving to make it to work after my trip haha

current set up:
Gram Lights 57c
17x9.5 +22 squared

no spacers no adjustable arms no rubbing

other wheel set ups:

haha yea if i would've kept the tires i could've been charged a oversize and weight fee. in my case, 2 boxes of paired 17" rims weighed much less than 40lbs (Because GramLights) to the 50lb limit it literally was a little wider than a a carry on. added ANA and Delta includes 2 free luggage check ins as well as the carry ons = FREE OVER NIGHT PARTS FROM JAPAN

Your introduction was awesome. But now I HATE YOU.

Laff, just kidding dude!

OF COURSE I/WE WANT TO SEE THAT!!!!

I'm supposed to go next year but Australia may come first according to the Mrs. Trying to combine trips but we have friends in AU and NZ that we haven't seen in a while so...

Nissan Heritage (DNA) Museum = #1 on my ALL TIME Bucket List
. Serious. Been wanting to go to that for like, well, as long as I've known about it. Instead, we went to the Louvre and the Vatican last year.... pish posh. Laff!

(I kid, my trip to Europe was eye opening, especially to the Vatican and I'm not even religious.)

Man, I'd love to go to that auction house and try to snipe a Supra MKIV. Did you see any 380RS Fairlady Z in Japan at all? Anywhere? Probably all sheltered away in private collection.

That Super GT 2006 Z33 is the sex. More pics please, in fact all your pics are great. Please unload onto me.
