Talking Oh Yea look at these rims i picked up today! mmmmm.....

oh yea i love going to the yards. to day i picked up these ENKEI 15x7 with an offset of 7, with a bolt pattern of 4x110! i know your saying aww get the GSL-SE rear for the better gears and 4x114 but i already have the GSL-SE pumpkin so i have the better gears just the GSL 4x110 pattern. and hey cant beat 4 nice rims for $85.

now i need to flair out my front fenders to make the front look right lol. in the rear the rim sticks out about a 1/4 an inch looks sweet.





i cant wait to get some nice tires fix my oil leak and get on a nice road. ahhh to day is a good day.

o yea at the yard there was the uglyest FB i have ever seen. it was a dark blue with widebody and little vents all over it. ewww. it was so ugly and the int. was a polyester and dark red. it was a sad sight. to bad they dont alow cameras in there i would gett pics of it.

I used to have a set of these - they look great on an FB - kinda give an old school look. Watch out for the centres - mine where too big for the hub and caused a few minor problems (keep the lugs very snug). Did you get the black plastic centre covers with them? Then again, hopefully yours fit properly and you won't have that problem

Are you kidding me? You can't bring a camera in? I'm pretty sure I could bring a BBQ grill in if I really wanted to. Why can't you bring a camera in?

Oh yeah, nice rims

I can beat your 4 rims for 85 bux, though. I just scored $701.26 worth of plumbing supplies at Home Depot for $1.04 They had a cart full of supplies that had been reduced to $.01 each...so I took the whole cart.

i think they wont alow you to bring a camera because they think you will take pics of cars that are there and make a plan to steal them or some thing. all i know is they have a big sign thats says:

NO: Drugs, Fire Arms, Sandles, Camras, or people under 18 years of age.

and why on earth would home depot reduce every thing to $0.01 you dating the girl at the register? nice job

All useful, though not all at once It's mostly the chrome piping you use under a sink that's exposed (no vanity) so unless you're a plumber you'd never use as much as I bought. I'm asking friends and family what they need. As luck would have it I did my bathroom sink about six months ago. The most valuable items were these 1" brass backflow prevention valves at $15.99 each reduced to 1/1599th of their original cost. There's 16 of those.

That's really wierd that they don't allow cameras...

...and no, I'm not dating the girl at the register I kept looking around for the candid camera crew as I was checking out and leaving. It all rang up as $.01 - no idea why they reduced so drastically - switching to a different supplier is my only guess and this was the cheapest way out of the inventory...?

Those wheels are sweet. I have a similar set of those that are 14x7, and are made by BBS. I love the way they look on my Emerald Green 83 Rx.
