they are pretty heavy but its more for show, i always got stock if i need to race or whatever plus i was thinkin about pickin up some lightweight 15's or something for the track, i thought i was getting Nankang 40 series but instead they gave me 35 series...but oh well its not too bad and they gave me Hankook tires which are a pretty good brand so im happy about that. i got them from wheelsnext.com and it was a pain pretty much, i didnt have a good experience with them, 1000 shipped to my door ready to put on the car.

nice, I think those are the perfect choice for arrival blue, now just be careful with those curbs and potholes, you don't want to be like me and be buying a new rim in 3 weeks because of crap roads.

Looks like our mods are headed in the same direction though.

I put 18"s on my Ls a month ago
tints shortly after
HID kit is in the mail
injen intake should be in any day
and I've had the Eibachs on backorder for almost 2 months.
and little crap like shorter antenna, headlight covers and covering up the warning signs on sun visors with chevy stickers.

Next is body kit and exhaust.
I have old pics in the gallery in case you havent seen my car.
I think your base is sharp without the wing, I used to think I hated no wing but it has grown on me.

I ordered from pfyc, May 15th, but what I am being told is that nobody has recieved shipment yet. Although for some reason there are a couple on ebay.

How are the new wheels riding? Mine came mounted and balanced also, but I had to get them rebalanced because front end shook after puting them on. I don't know what they balanced but it was'nt right at all. My 5th rim is in the mail now, I totaled the right front a little over a week ago.

I have some old pics in gallery, I was hoping to upload pics with tints and springs, but still no springs, I am going to take some this week with injen intake and all the little crap I have done. Hoping to find time to polish up that ecotec so it shines when I remove the cover.
