Amen to that!
When you have kids, it changes the way you look at alot of stupid things you do. The sprint burst of speeds on the HWY we all do every now and then but wreckless street racing in and out of traffic is bad. You want to put your self in that predicament thats your call but dont put my life, my families life and everyone else at risk.
My neighbor heads up the drag racing unit at the Sherif office and trust me when I tell you, they are there undercover just waiting for the right time to strike

I totally agree with you on this... OZOC has never been down with the hole street racing scene at all, we're more about show, track events and social gatherings... Be smart people!!!!

Anyone going to Z days? I just registered, me and a couple of my other friends are rolling out thursday evening after I get out of class. Anyone else planning on going?

We already have a cabin reserved as well.

Looking to upgrade my wheels at some point in the future. Probably going to get them right after I move so I dont have to worry about them during shipping to hawaii.

These have sparked my interest, I am still browsing. I dont want to be like everyone else is the most important, but I want my car to just look awesome when you look at it.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

I really like these, but I dont know the name of them. The sort of look like the GTC but you can tell there 1 piece. They look HAWT!


Tell me what you guys think. I am open to other suggestions as well.

Surf, dont get the RH. Dass motorsports is out of buisness, so RH Revolution and Racing Hart are no longer being made.

I like the last set best. I cant remember the name of those rims. Ill search.

True they are out of buisness but Dazz was a importer for HART
wheels, they are still being produced in Japan.

I found out what they are, ssr d5r's They look one piece, pretty but not what I want. I am looking to go more upscale in a rim, 2 or 3 piece.

We were going to go - but since the military and my car accident, I can't take long drives with these knees anymore, especially in the Z. So hub and I are going to take an actual vacation day or two off this month. Make up for lost time and whatnot. Wish were were going though - you guys are going to have alot of fun!

lol...........
I remember when RH was the shiznit like most think of Volks, but as I got to speak to many people who owned them, they were not 100% happy with them.
Top three things were- discoloration of the lip, flaking of there SBC coating and the fact that there a two piece welded wheel ( can't take center out)

Not many people have this set up- Diamond cut with Gold inserts as they call it. If it were not for the bike I want these would be next for me.

If your intrested, I can call an old friend ( ozoc, original member ) and get a price for you, he works for one of Volks distributers

so true... ask anyone who was there with me at HIN... unfortunately they look pretty bad right now even after a few hours of polishing (and getting sunburnt!).. but i still love the way they look on my car, and I'm hoping to get them refinished soon. either that or powdercoated - black or gunmetal face w/ a blue lip...
