Exactly. I buy what I can afford .. but in all seriousness I don't like how memory foam feels..and 120hz-240hz+ tv look very fake to me (like you're behind the scenes of some sort).

in all honesty, im not a fan. they looked better in the pictures you posted when you bought them. its probably one of the wheels you have to see in person to truly appreciate. some black wheels just arent very photogenic.

Lots of potholes out there after the snow look out for them. I fix wheels for a living and had a record day today. Around 35 and 635 is terrible.

Hey Eric, how's that V1 lip workng out?

And speakng of fixng wheels... My truck wheels are polished aluminum (supposed to be anyway) and have what I think is a mixture of water stains, rust maybe, and some brake dust that just won't come off. I tried the Never Dull. I even bought the Meguiar's power ball and some "good" polish. It seems impossible to get that crap off of there. Any suggestions on a chemical or anything?
