The Smiths were unable to conceive children and
decided to use a surrogate father to start their
family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr.
Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, "Well, I'm off
now. The man should be here soon."
Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door
baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell,
hoping to make a sale.
"Good morning, Ma'am", he said,"I've come to.
"Oh, no need to explain," Mrs. Smith cut in,
embarrassed, "I've been expecting you."
"Have you really?" said the photographer.
"Well,that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?"
"Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please
come in and have a seat".
After a moment she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we
start?"
"Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the
bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the
bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You
can really spread out there."
"Bathtub, living room floor r? No wonder it didn't work
out for Harry and me!"
"Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one
every time. But if we try several different positions
and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll
be pleased with the results."
"My, that's a lot!", gasped Mrs. Smith.
"Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time.
I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm
sure you'd be disappointed with that."
"Don't I know it," said Mrs. Smith quietly.
The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a
portfolio of his baby pictures. "This was done on the
top of a bus," he said.
"Oh, my God!" Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her
throat.
"And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when
you consider their mother was so difficult to work
with."
"She was difficult?" asked Mrs. Smith.
"Yes, I'm afraid so. I finally had to take her to the
park to get the job done right. People were crowding
around four and five deep to get a good look"
"Four and five deep?" said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide
with amazement.
"Yes", the photographer replied. "And for more than
three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing
and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when
darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally,
when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I
just had to pack it all in."
Mrs. Smith leaned forward. "Do you mean they actually
chewed on your, uh...equipment?"
"It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll
set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away."
"Tripod?"
"Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my
Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand
very long."

Andy actually mentions in the thread later on that those are the most aggressive offsets available in those sizes.
ya it is about the rims you posted up on that site. My bad I had a good buzz rolling last night. I meant siverstone

Tony, I'm fine with either, I just don't know when they close. I'm at work (Downtown) so the one on Manhattan isn't a bad drive for me, but the one on Veterans is on the way home to Destrehan. So ya'll can take your pick, just let me know and I'll come meet up!
Btw, Welcome to the boards. My name's Scott. Your RX8 looks really familar, does it have an exhaust or is that the factory? Reason I ask is because I ran into a guy on a few occasions with one same color with exhaust and what not and I kept trying to run him but all he'd do is rev at me and turn off.
