    Ha! Thanks, I like them too. Maybe even enough to keep them for longer than 6 months.

    Thanks buddy. How's the new interior look at night? Looked like Lee did a damn good job.

    Was gonna run the flat black SDR's, but I traded with Tangledupinblu for his Tarmacs instead. Dark yet shiny and sparkly...me likey :yumyum:

    P.S.- center caps are not on cuz they were gold around the edges and I painted them. Now they are drying, you still get the idea ;)

    My wheels and tires are on the way!!!!! They should be in my office on Thursday the 10th.
    pics will be posted when they get here.

    Discount Tire in Shakopee matched the online price for my Falken RT16's - going from around 140 to 102 per tire. I guess they won't do the same insurance crap, but I've never used that anyway.

    ^ nice!

    I have been way to busy to take any good photos so here are just a couple rough ones to get the idea.

    [​IMG]

    These fit pretty well. They rub on the mud flaps in the front when turning sharp. The fender liner also rubs on the tire under very hard cornering/braking but thats nothing major. the only real concern is that under extremely hard cornering the rear tires (driver side mostly) will rub on the inside of the 1/4 panel. I think I can fix this w/ a hammer so I am not too concerned.
