Hello from Baghdad! That is all.

 

be safe there and say hi to Osama for me, mmk?


thanks, Junkie, about Cornell's new car info!
now let's find out about parting out thingy?

 

Hell my old unit is in Baghdad right now... If you see this walking around that's them.

 

Off to get rims/tires

Motegi's ( I know) and I'm going to flip a coin between some KDW's or Eagle GT's

 

flipped the coin and the coin said it would be 2-3 days for KDW's...

So Eagle GT's it is

 

post pics of fitment with new wheels bro...

 

when I get them actually on the car tomorrow it will happen first thing.

Apparently it's a 24 hour waitlist to get Eagle GT's...still better than the 2-3 day waitlist for KDW's

 

Waitlist?!?! I dont know whos jackin u around but only time i wait for tires is about 2 or 3 days from tirerack.com. Whats the weight on the wheels? Gonna be tracked? I know a lot of people have em but rpf1's would have made a good track wheel and theres a couple sets in the marketplace for probably less than u r about to spend

 

I spent 440 on the wheels out the door, and the tires are going to be ~125 a piece out the door. thats all 4 at 18X8.....forgot the offsets.... and my original rims are going to be the track set till I can pick up some 16/17 inch rpf1's

 

so the total price is 940 for a set of 18 wheels with tires?

I thought with 1k you can get a better set of wheels, no?

 

yea for 1,000 I could get some better wheels with no rubber on them... and if I go to get a track set I'm not getting anything bigger than a 17 with widths beings 9 or up. So that means I have to buy tires again anyways.

 

Should have went ahead with the rpf1 17x10 +18 all around with 275/40 all around and a spacer in the rear would be great. Tirerack has sumitomo htrz in that size for less than $100 shipped

 

well oops then...new wheels on the car already...gonna wait for some sun (someday) and get it out for pics also due to the fact that I had the rip-off 19's with tires, I now have 4 19" tires with ~30% tread life all around. Sell all four for 100$ even if anybody wants them?

 

Well what can you do bro...plans sound good...just shoot them pics when you gots some time...hopefully I can get rid of a set and I can order my new set to be in feb...can't wait

 

anyone got a set of +10 or +15 spacers sitting around?

Don't know if they even make them, but I could use a set for the fronts

or for that matter if someone has one on their car I can borrow to check fitment that'd be awesome

...don't worry, I'd do the work, and meet you where ever.

 

what sizes are those tires? shoot me the specs i might be interested

 

too lazy to get them right now, I'll get it tomorrow though.

 

so the tires are 3X 245/35/ZR19 Achilles ATR Sports

and one 255/35/ZR19 Dunlop SP Sport 9000 RS

The dunlop has significantly more tread than the other three from a unfixable flat

But then again thats from the word of the guy who lied about the rims being fixable.

 

What peeps?

 

nothing much beside me running wo muffler around the streets of Houston, lol.
