One of our sponsors is a Subaru Canada sponsored rally team.

And I think they use that status to feed a lot of bullshit to their customers. Went to a meet and one guy was talking about the turbo upgrade they did on his Legacy. 'Completely custom prototype turbo!' Being a Supra guy, I inquired a bit further. Off the shelf billet compressor wheel. Whoop-de-do, Supras have been doing that for years...

Plus the welding on the piping was terrible.

Our sponsor is a local dealership, I buy parts from them...that's the extent of it.

From what I hear, cocaine is a hell of a drug.

You were missed yesterday! I'm sure you would have had great insight into the squirrel, monkey topic and keep me from getting confused....

Is it better to scare women you are interested in dating while they drive with you? or make them feel safe?

Why after you take protein, and you forget to take your water to work with you do your kindneys feel as though they have been used as a punching bag all day?

TSW wheels. Made in China cast crap?

One week of vaca (Martha's Vineyard) or two weeks of vaca (MV and Miami)? Two weeks put me in risk of not getting a new apartment though.

Not sure. Next question...

Serious note, @Gardus I think said something in the past that they may have been made in Italy.

Also, I'm a massive wheel snob. If the company doesn't compete in top level motorsports I'm not interested.

I honestly don't have an issue with properly cast wheels from companies with solid reputations.

Pretty much, I had them on a turbo Nissan sentra, heavy, and bent after a drop off the curbing at my local track.

Ugh. Sigh. I can't find any light 17" wheels that I like in the proper width and offset. I want to stay away from Made in China cast wheels; at least OZ wheels are cast in Italy and BBS in Germany. Don't like any of the Japan cast wheels, which is unfortunate.
