The latin kings don't even exist in the south. They are kind of a joke. We have real gangs here in the city. When I was in Jackson every latin king member had to hide his tats for fear of getting stomped out on a daily basis. I feel bad for gang members outside of a prison setting because to think a random dude cares about you more than your family(whomever that may be) is simply ignorant

Those aren't slicks. They're Michelin Pilot Sport Cup's. It's basically a d.o.t. legal track tire, but it does have tread. I see in the corner of the pic above a Porsche 996 GT3 that it was probably on, since the 295-30-18 is a rear size for that car.

The cliffs lead to just what you said though Aack. Rota makes a lot of OEM wheels and has for al ong time.
That name is far from synonomous with failure.

I might just live with the engine bay NOT getting paint and painting the rest.... dunno.

What is cheaper, buying good wheels the first time round or paying for everything that was damaged plus another wheel when the not strong wheel broke?

They've got cool colour though. either way I'm not close to that decision, at all.

Actually thought about the Bronze. Well still in the back of my mind. Wheels would have to match to some extent for that to work though.
Right now it stays matching rims.
And
GLOWING $650 emblem. Hows that working out anyways

I've got BT4 rattlecan and clearcoat rattlecan, growing a wild hair and thinking of stuff to clean up and/or paint in the engine bay.
In the next couple days, going to go visit a mom-and-pop welding shop and take a look at new muffler tips, sorta like the ones rec'd to me several pages back...

That's amazing dude! Thanks so much for this idea!! I'm pretty much accepting that I'll have to paint at least door jambs so this is a great option to potentially keep cost down.
I like the following from them with that idea:

I've got stew meat in freezer, veggies and stuff in fridge, probably gonna do a nice slow cooker stew in a couple days...
have you ever done Zucchini and squash on the BBQ? Cut them into strips and marinate them in italian dressing for like an hour or so, then grill them cross-wise under med heat, turning occasionally.

oh yea its one of the best ways to cook em. How about zucchini boats? spoon out the middle and put in some parmesan cheese and whatever else cheese you want and then put in the oven at about 300 for 10 or 15mins? mmmmmOriginally Posted by Amerikaner83
