i do, i'll put it up as soon as i get back to my home computer. the wheels are zenetti valeo's. and the exhaust is hks super dragger (not my kind of exhaust, but its sounds real nice, quiet at idle and loud when i really get on it, also, not to tinny sounding, it was on my previous fd when i bought it before it was totalled)
I have a 99 spec wing ready for painting and mounting. I just have to get some extra time.

Now if you could just figure out a way to strap on a couple of bags you would have the fastest and best looking golf cart on Earth!

(You better get that off the fairway before the greens keeper finds out)

haha, yeah... i've had a couple encounters with them before. Usually though, its more stuck-up older men in their mid-life crisis that bug me about me taking pictures there. its really ridiculous sometimes. they try to take my name and i give them them a name like 'Abdul Rohil' or something like that and just laugh as i drive away.

I would tell them my name is: Imgwanna Kickboody!

Sweet, what size tires? Are they the same size front & rear also? How do you like that setup?

they are 255/35/18's. I'm not sure of the offset, its printed on the inner rim somewhere, which would be too hard to get to right now. i believe its 45 though. I have Eibach springs on my car and every now and then when the suspension compresses over fast bumps (45mph+) it rubs against the wheel well liner. Oh, i was also on an on ramp about a week ago coming back from school and taking the turn fairly quick and it nicked the fender and lipped it out. All i need to do is roll the lip and i believe i am set.

After having the same problem I had my lips rolled up to accomodate my Volks. Since the paint is so brittle on these cars (mine is a '93) it chipped off as soon as they started to bend the lips up and they had to re-shoot the fenders. It cost more than I expected but it was still worth it.

i wanted to powdercoat the interior piece of the rim, not the shinny lip, but the main piece a dark color like gunmetal, but i dont know if anyone can do that without taking apart the wheel which would then classify it as "not worth the trouble"

If the wheels are a true 3 piece (with the rivets around the rim) then you have to dissasemble the rim to powdercoat them. It is a little costly, but if done right it can turn out very nicely done. Personally, I think the rims look great the way they are. Nice job.
