So i needed tires for my car because my OEM rims an tires were extremely worn down from Guam temperature. I dont have $2000 to spend on new rims. But i do have amazing friends...i got a set of 20" Zenetti Kaotic rims with tires for the price of......$200....thats right! My friend was getting out of the racing scene an is right now selling his evo 8 for $10,000 well anyway here is the clean version of my rims. 20" is a bit overkill but at least ill have tires

Worked on my custom resistor pack. I soldered the wires onto the resistor ends. My vision is to make it a see thru box that has LEDs under the resistors so it has a show car effect to it. Heres what i have so far
