Got a new cam 7.2 Sony DSC-W55, pics of my Z
Sorta did the HDR thing while keeping them looking real.
Whatcha think? I need to get one of those cable things that allow me to take the photo from it w/out touching the cam so it doesn't move to make my HDR shots look better.

All I'm saying is ASA is not a bad brand...especially when licensed by BBS. And when I think there are other areas that money can be more smartly spent, I'm gonna do that first.
New wheels can come on down the road, for now I'm happy.
But I was wondering how long it'd take for the wheel ****'s to get into thread. Amazing...first reply even, and not even a compliment on the photo itself.
Besides what would $130 buy me? That wouldn't even cover the shipping probably.
To the others, thank you.
ETA: Quaker, I've already got the tripod...it's the cable that I want/need as in it looks like a cable/wire and has a button on it to snap the pics so you don't have to touch the camera. :P

Oh you meant by actually using lightweight wheels for racing?? Oh but you aren't even racing yet yourself? So you're doing the same thing with your wheels as we are.

as expected, all but one or two of the replies have been cvntface comments...oh well...looks pretty good for a point and shoot...and those wheels aren't the greatest ever, but for the price, they work very well on a Z imo...people live to tear you down on a national forum, so don't take it personal

lol....funny how quick you are to slam a new guy. BTW my other car is a '69 Mustang...but that's probably not good enough for ya either, right?
And to the member above...since when is auto crossing not considered racing/tracking?
Geez there's a lot of high flying egos in this thread.
I'm happy w/ my car so far...that's all that matters, just thought you guys would enjoy some pics. But since it doesn't have Volks, Works, RO JA's, or Rays....it's not worthy to post even.
Does that mean that you all didn't get slammed when you were a new guy to the Z and didn't have Volks or the likes?
Way to encourage more ppl to join...
I don't care about criticism...but being an assbag just b/c I don't have a certain brand isn't warranted. Then again...this is the internet...where ppl 4'10" 100lbs can act like tough guys. Oops, my bad.
Seriously I work at a federal prison and since I'm one of about 10 white ppl in a 95% black workforce in that prison, along w/ mainly non white inmates, I've heard it all due to my race. So whatever makes your e-***** feel bigger buddy...
To those that aren't being dumbasses in this thread...thank you.

Nice car. I dont think the wheels are that bad. Definitely good for the price you paid. Aside from that, as long as you are happy with your camera/car then cool.
We should all get along...but i forgot it IS the internet....serious business.

since the car is jsut about 5 years old now, everyone is jaded when they see wheels that are not up to the volk/work standard.
I totally agree with that. The worst thing i can think of on a expensive car like the G/Z is cheap wheels. most of the time the stock wheels look better than most "lower level" wheels (and i say this loosely).
If you really want to set off your car lower and get your tire to sit right flush with the fender that will make any wheel even cheaper ones look good.
but then you will still have someone nagging about get better wheels.
you can pick up a set of used volks for low 2ks.... i think that is worth it for a 30k car?
