Actually, now that I look at it, it really is a great metaphor for how some of the threads on here end up going (if you imagine ichi as the guy running down the cart at the end.

Reminds me of the South Park episodes with Catlyn Jenner.

And then just bailing? Hahaha.

If you like multi-spoke style & black/gunmental, I got old TSW which is decent

I wanted the BBS RI-D 005... but you know, they're almost impossible to get
Gunmetal isn't bad... but have you look into lil bit darker silver like this one? Can't remember which BBS it is

I like this look a lot. Mine's a white BRZ, so it should look fairly similar.

Elegant looking!

Speaking of wheels, I forgot to tell you guys I weighed mine the other day. I'm a bit disappointed because I could've sworn I saw somewhere the F14's weighed 16~lbs but mine are 19. Still, that's a pound lighter than stock so with the bigger tires my setup will weigh about the same as stock with a lot more grip.

F14... that's Forgestar? iirc 17's are 16lbs and 18's are 19lbs. TC105N (17x9 35) w 245/40-17 weight almost same as stock wheels and tires weight.

That's what I thought, but my 17x8.5 F14 wheels weigh 19lbs.

Huh, IDK... I think, I read that on wheel directory, but not sure where it got that number from.

Speaking of Wheels and so on. When did this forum got sponsored by Tire Rack? Anyone notice that?

Well shiiiieeeet. 99% of the time, Hachi doesn't let mods know all the update or cool stuff happen on the forum. I kinda wish he does... but it's pretty cool

[Nevermore]

I posted about it (double posted even) like a day or two ago, but I can't find either post...


EDIT: Found it.
