IDK if my new wheels are going to be on.
The guy hasnt shipped them out yet, I still need adapters, get the tires mounted, and also time to repaint them.
Its going to be just like last time when I was putting on my Enkeis.
Theyre either on or not. It may come down to the day.

My new wheels of the Enkeis? Hahah!
The new adapters are going to be 2 piece and a little thicker than 1in.
I wanted 1in adapters, now its going to throw my offset into retardo. Like my current wheels. Whos heard of 6mm offset? Yaknow?
My new wheels are going to be +24.3mm now. Or something around there.
If I get them on time.
Every meet I go to you dont. The ones I dont show for youre there.

I got replica wheels of the work equips W3(I think that what they are)or Drag DR-20 because I am a baller on a budget. lolz. They are in gold. I need a drop bad but I don't have any money left over to spend. probably going to have to way like a good 5 to 6 months. got to save money for bills and my business.
I hope you get your wheels on in time for the meet. It would be disappointing after all of this suspense

I think everyone should go regardless of ray's wheels - though they seem to be the hot topic at the moment! hehe.
I like the current stance man - bulldog. The new setup will probably be even more crazier/unique/wild.
While we're on the subject of suspension wheels etc. not sure if you guys are aware but I become hyper aware after my skunk2's, there are drainage canals alongside the curb almost everywhere here so they make for tricky entrances when turning into parking lots or side streets off main roads, like A1A, so when you guys get to sunsplash, take extra care turning into the parking lot, anyone with a drop will almost certainly rub a little, even going slowly, but you don't want to bottom out completely. and also, other people on the road are dumb and if you turn slowly off a main road to avoid hitting a bump like these drainage things at speed, they lay on the horn and flip you off and nearly rear-end you instead of changing to the next lane over (which is almost always open) and driving around. True Story.
Anyway, getting very excited about this. Can't wait to see you all there!

And the guy I keep emailing is so idiotic. I asked for a price for the adapters SHIPPED. First email is "Thats a 2 piece design." No price. I email him back "Uhh, ok so whats the price?" "$90 per adapter. So $360."
Does he want me to calculate shipping myself? I went through this shit with the same person. Im honestly afraid to call him, I think Id drop IQ points the longer I talked to him.

weather's looking great guys... 70 and sunny beachside!
I've been driving/parking on the beach out here few times. Clearance is not a n issue as the grades are well kept and if you can deal with a little sand afterwards I think it'd make for some pretty cool shots for our fitfreakers who are into photography. Anyway, we'll meet at sunsplash and if everyone is down we can go around to the nearby beach ramp and park and enjoy the water/sun.

Haha! My girlfriend was talking about the "serial killer" in Daytona tonight saying something to the extent of, "I am glad we aren't in Daytona." I then had to tell her that we would be there on Saturday. She freaked out! I thought I would share that with ya'll.

I already got them. I was thinking of doing teaser shots....
I sanded them yesterday, filler primed them also to get rid of pits. Finished sanding them down again today. Paint probably wont be until next week. This weekend is packed!
So far so good. The wheels are sexy time.
