i like them they go with the car but they do stick out a bit. but overall they look good.

Thanks Bat and DB for your sincerity. I like the style but the offsets are too aggressive for the tire setup i'm looking for and yeah the fronts stick out a little too much. Dam, why can't they be + 18s or so F&B

So they are up for sale if anyone knows someone who is interested. Contact Juve for price.

You mean your block is on its way to Forge. I hate you!


This Friday is bad for me. I changed my plugs this Sunday to step 1s instead of step 2's because Alex had an extra set and my A/F are way way off now. I had to lower the boost to about 7 just to be at a safe level. I'm ordering my new plugs tonight so I won't be running it hard till next week sometime. My car was tuned using step 2s so I need to stick with them.

Since I'm not buying Juve's wheels, I might get the Meth kit aswell and go retune when Alex takes his car in for tuning in September.

10 lb meth tune here I come 450ish rwhp. And I want my engine to last. huh!

Maybe a 9lb on meth we'll see.

Not sure yet if I'll be tuning at Protech or JTran Studios in Houston. ATX350 just got his PowerLab 350Z tune with JT and he made 377rwhp on 6.4psi. I am going to send him my current map for his expert opinion then I'll decide depending on his observations. I'm still skeptical on my A/Fs. If my timing is pulled back then I'm safe but if it is not, then KaaaaBBBBooooommmmm......

It'll be a fun road trip either way.
