huh, just as long as you dont go heavier than stock, hah, but you got a damn good deal, i was planning on spending 2 grand on rims and tires alone. do you need the spacers?
#31
yeah i used them. when your buy the lugs on the site they come with spacers but its like 45 dollars. you can use the oem lugs and wheel locks and just but spacers at a auto parts store for cheap. but the lugs from the site are nice though, even comes with a special key for just the lugs.

i like them a lot cheaper than the ones i was gonna go with, btw, the stocks weigh 22 pounds, so they are lighter than stock, but i want to go with 18# rims. the more unsprung weight lost, the better.

i was thinkin about doing that but virginia cops will bust you for anything. and the tickets here are expensive like no other. $1000 ticket for switching lanes with no signal and $2000 dollar fine for speeding over 20 mph. i think no front lisence plate is $100? im not sure.

in the next couple of weeks im gonna save for some performance parts; a stoptech kit with slotted rotors, upgraded front and back strut bars, RB springs, hks intake, and borla exhaust. appearance parts are; veilside carbon fiber hood (painted), mazdaspeed mirrors, mazdaspeed rear bumper (maybe), veilside sideskirts, fogged tail lights, ipod dock, all weather floor mats

FAA Department of Transportation Acency. Its a pretty good government job. i have my own office, get good benefits, and i get to retire if i work here for 20 years. i make about $40,000 the first year then $50,000 the second. and the best part is, im only 20 years old living with my parents.

when my dad found out i got the job, he took me to the dealership and laid down a suitcase of cash and bought me my car. i was supposed to get a g35 for highschool graduation but i dont think id be as happy with it as i am with the rx8. i dont have to pay rent or any car payments, my mom hooked me up with this job and we work in the same office building so i carpool with her monday-friday and i never have to drive to work. basically all the money i get i spend on my car and my girl and drugs.
