^^ That's what is seems like, especially since Jeff, Ray & Erik, (I believe?!) are coming in town. They will be doing the install, that's my guess.. Also, drift show is selling out fast, everyone needs to get their tickets or I can collect money and get the tickets for everyone. I already got mine, so you guys need to get them asap if you wanna go..

Welcome back dude, nobody missed you! J/K People were wondering what happened with you.. How was the cruise? Besides that, how do you like the CF hood? I'm still debating weather I should paint it red or just get a fresh of clear coat. I was supposed to get my last 2 tires mounted on the rims today, but it didn't go as planned. So, I gotta try and get that done tomorrow..

BTW, how much does it cost you guys to fill up the tank with the gas priceses nowdays?

You guys will need to get these tickets in advance, before they're sold out.. I believe my friend told me that they were sold out for July 11th, but tickets are still available for the 12th. I'm not possitive, I'll have to check with him to make sure..

Well, you guys better be sure you can get them.. I believe they're $40 each ticket, $30 if you buy in advance. We need to get a list going here this week to see who's all going and to see if it's worth making a meet out of it.

Try one of the vendor's on our site, both Anthony & Jordan bought wheels from him. AutoRnD, the guy's name is Rishie, he should be able to get you anything you're looking for.. I saw these rims on a BMW the other day, talk about some sexy *** wheels! They would look great on your Brilliant Black.. They're BBS CH Black w/ polished rim.

I'm old fashioned and prefer the bling of chrome. I also love the 5 spoke that Mazda had as original equipment but.............................I was going to have the spare set dipped but now I'm not sure if I will. I may just look for a set of the dark chrome ones that Mazda offers.

Phil have a look here too, i started looking here first because they have galleries from customers.

http://www.wheelsdirectonline.com/

If your going to go with the chrome look and i was you id go for advans, volks etx and get the rmc look, same kinda look as chrome and a lot lighter,
you should look at the volk sf challenge with the rays metallic coat finish (RMC) , theyre 5 spoke with the chrome look too it



theyre similar to mine actually but hey theyre 5 spoke wth a chrome look

^^ Those are the wheels that I wanted, they're my favorite wheels of all time! But, they're $3,500 and I'm broke now, so I can't/couldn't get them just yet.

I got a Nikon lens that costs like $400-$500, but I have no Nikon camera to use it with..
