Wow.

More pics please.

EnthuZ Oct 26, 2003 06:38 AM

Looks great! And, if that is a crappy shot, I can't wait for the Good ones!

What happened to your 17" plans?

I'm an impatient moron. ;) I had specific needs for 17s, all of which entailed long waits. Because I wanted 8.5 and 9.5 with the +30 and +35 offsets, my choices were slim. After going over the numbers again and again, I stuck with 18s because the Kumhos were $275 cheaper per set than than the 245/40, 255/40 S03 set-up I have been running.

Weather's not cooperating. Here are some nice, washed out pics. :rolleyes:

I only put about 15 miles on them to run up to snap the pics. I did put them through a half-assed heat cycle in a twisty industrial park and can say they are as sticky as the S03s were.

Good seeing you yesterday as well. I'm still in awe of the "phantom". ;)

Droid..

Although I personally prefer all silver... those LE's do look good on your SS.

Congrats !

Blue Liquid Oct 26, 2003 04:56 PM

Well done Droideka, I think you made an excellent choice!

SHO-TIME Oct 26, 2003 05:08 PM

The first pic is sweet. Last weekend, I noticed how different the Z looks when it's up in the air and you look at it at the same angle, maybe a little more to the behind and right than you have in that first picture. A little to the behind, to the right and lower (below ground level) and you see the front fender flare. The car looks hot that way and you don't see that look often. It looks terrific from that angle.

Oh, and your wheels kick butt with that color.

It looks like ***. And what's up w/ the funky offsets???

:D :p

Michael.

Blue Liquid Oct 27, 2003 02:58 PM

Aw c'mon Michael, those are the correct offsets, Holmes. They're not gagsta offsets.

Ha. Don't worry about him. He's a local hater with a Friday car. He barely makes the same HP as I do stock after $1200 headers. :p

Hahahahaha, it's all good. I'm just happy Bradley pulled the trigger on rims. For a while there, I was gettin' tired of his incessant left brain / right brain discussions regarding wheels and tires. ;)

Michael.

And brotha Brad, we talked about this just last night. You may have more peak horsepower, but I got the broader powerband. It's not how long you are, but how long you can go. :p

Blue Liquid Oct 27, 2003 03:29 PM

Ah, a little local rivalry among Z friends, i love it!

droideka Oct 28, 2003 02:54 PM

Closing this one.
