Just my luck, Big O's rig is slipping!!! They won't even touch my wheels. I'm at Les Schwab, their rig is very soft so, I'm not worried about my wheels getting damaged. $108.00 though , $60.00 more than I had originally anticipated. That sucks ***!!!

They're working on it now. Wish it wasn't so wet out so I can play. Oh well, I'm still going...

^ Yeah thats about the going price for custom wheels/tires mount and balance. $22-25/wheel.
Where did you think it was only $12 per wheel with customs?
That blows about fronts leaking.
Fit your rears yet?

Just spent most of yesterday vacuuming out my daughters VW from water inside. The back floor section had about 3 inches of water
Damn German cars...lolz. Now it looks like a sauna inside on her windows.
Anyone know of a BIG oven I can use to cook her car and dry it out..haha :sigh:

Alight, I just finished doing my rears ...

Good things:
I love the new look
Fills up the gap really well
Its fulsh with my fenders now

Bad things:
Fills the gap so well - It rubbed just hitting a small pothole going 10mph!!!
I have to raise the car or run more camber!!!

Give me a few minutes to resize the pics...

Enjoy

Thanks... Remember to roll first... If you go I'll go with you... I need them re-rolled ...Damn, you'll find another one - that would have been so PIMP... Yes!!! Get coilovers... Just remember, "pillow ball mounts" will cluck after time... Rubber mounts are the way to go for daily use... I highly doubt you will even notice a difference... I didn't but then again I'm not a "track junkie"...

Its so sad, my sister's dog has already claimed the last wheel - as her bed ... I'll post a pic of that later...

Ugh!!! I'm bored ...

I decided to put one of the fronts on for reference...

Makes me a little upset that I can't have them all on ...

As far as I can remember there are 3, Cusco, Tein and HKS... I was actually thinking of changing over to the HKS RS. If I remember correctly, Adam at Z1 had Cusco then switched over to the HKS and is very happy with them...
