Mels better place. G's, during summer time, met there every Friday night. A G guy owns the joint.
Give us a reminder closer to the 20th

I think they ship out today. However, I did not get the tires. I'm still trying to decide on what size and brand, I'm leaning towards the T1R's in 255/285.

BTW do you know the owner SN on g35driver? I may give him heads up and possibly get a section of the restuarant. Anything would be cool, thanks
If not no biggie, I have done these before in the past at other places.

Ask Paul (has the G coupe that's TT) at our GTG meet. I believe he knows him personally, I don't.
Paul's SN on Driver is: urban. I forget his SN here

Alright. My new wheels did ship out today 
. That makes me very happy!!!
I've been reading on the T1R's, can anyone give me a ride in their car with these on. I had T1S's at one point in time and I thought they were OK. A lot less noisy than the BFG KDW NT's.
Anyone care to share their experience with them?

We sure can... Did you place your order already?On a different note:
Rolling on stockers is not so bad... My rears dont have much grip anymore... My fronts are fairly new... Wish it was the other way around
... Good thing my BBK fits 
... Stock tires are quite compared to the BFG's...

...KDW2's have the best wear rating in that class of tire that I know of. 300 I think.
Once my Dunlops are done, I'm considering Nitto NeoGens. Designed for negative camber. Harder compound on the inside for more overall even wear.

Bigfoot found my other home lolz. How you been Shane. Thanks for Paul's SN. Thought it was something like that.
Kind of heard about your M3 and those guys while at Freakmont dinner meet awhile back
Not cool.

I'm oncall this week.. Not sure if I can make it tomorrow... Need to ask somebody else to cover for me...

Anyway...see you peeps tonight.
