Adapters are too expensive, wheels arent wide enough, and ITR's have no resale value.
I got lucky that guy traded me for the Enkeis... Which I miss dearly.

The ITR's were deff one of my best sets of wheels though.

que cutey valve cover <3

harlen Mar 24, 2009 11:14 PM

adapters are one of the reason why the wheels aren't on the car right now lol, i just got an offer on the itr wheels today so they may be sold t/m then i'll start looking around for some 7.5-8" wheels.

if anybody wants me to paint their valve cover cover just PM me, i want to try some new things and i won't be charging much ;) (~50-60$ shipped back to you)

what do you have in mind harlen? also where in texas are you? valve cover looks good man

harlen Mar 24, 2009 11:32 PM

some random things like pictures, writing, different colors, and some anodizing of the chrome vtec area. i was going to do some other things to this cover but wifey wanted it simple and clean lol so that's what it is. andddd i'm in arlington :)

khanhdom Mar 25, 2009 01:48 AM
