yep i wanted them but on a side note my tires cost 700 bucks when i bought them
so that also weighed in on my decision also. so like jedi says i talk to katy and she looked almost as hard as me, but she did not think the black look would fit.
her words were they look nice but the ones i have look better..
so here we are...

I'm thinking of going the 2nd at 7pm. Only $17, and a guaranteed good time.
Let me know if you guys want to go.
Hey....I just went to the improv last night Nino and I might be up for it.

those look photoshoped as well... the lighting does not match the other wheels. they look awesome though. very ferarriish. Me likey.

keith, your siggy says EA sports FAN 3... I think you meant FN3??? Fight Night 3.




EDIT: looking at the wheels more closely those are not even off of an 8. the caliper position is off.


EDIT again:
the front wheel COULD be off an an 8, but the other side of the car.
but the rear would still be wrong because its not at the 10'o clock location, its at the 9 (which is close). and if t were off of the other side of an 8 it would be at the 2 o’clock location, which its not.

.. there for, these wheels are not even off of an 8.... man I should be on San Bernardino crime scene investigation.


he he he.

HAHA!!! Damn, I can't get ANYTHING past Speeddemon! Those are the wheels I referred to in my last post. Advan Model 5 in 19 inch.
They will be mine....oh yes....they WILL be mine....

Too bad I just bought all new tires so I gotta scorch through these Toyo's by the end of the year so I can pick up those bad boys.
Those are the ONLY wheels I've ever thought would look good on my car. Speed likes them, how bout the rest of you guys?

Yes and no.

I think 19's are too big. Tires are alot more expensive and the wheel weight will kill you.

If you plan to track the car I agree, but if its a daily driver, 19's are fine.

my problem with 19's is the cost of the tire. the 18's I had on my Axis were $87 each. they were Kumho Ecstas. I loved them, and they were cheap. it made playing in the mountains affordable.

Yeah, my car will never see a track so 19's should work just fine. The difference in the wheels AND the tires is ridiculous when we go from 18" to 19".

yeah thats what I was sayin. its cazy!

i mean the cost of the wheel alone is crazy,but at least its only a 1 time thing. but the tires are reaccuring.

nonetheless, if its a street car, its ok wit me.

yes, good idea Jedi. Loren, I beleive is going to be playing in the snow with his family....so I don't think he will be available for taking pics or for showing you guys some good local spots.

I may be doing an exhaust swap that day and may not be at the memorial event.

thank you Cesar for the Forza 2 cars that you sent....much appreciated.

I logged on to Forza yesterday to see what I had. No money, no carear anything....no cars. I checked the auction house.....I had one unresolved auction for a #20 Home Depot Car that was sold for 3 million (so I got to add 3 million to my account), and two of my RX8's hadn't sold so I got to put them back into my empty garage (the orange Super Autobac one, and the Vivid Racing Pepsi one i think.

I also had 4 cars in the auction house that I had bought, but never had room to add them to my previous garage. One tuned S-998 Subaru, and three cars which I bought for their liveries.
