- Wed Feb 24, 2016 5:50 pm #358540 Well, a lot has happened since I last updated.
Turns out that two of the Fittipaldis had small bends, so the guy wanted to trade back for the XXR's. So I got the fittis back. Rode on those for a while.

Image

Then, picked up these 14" steelies with 80% tires for $80.
Took the fittipaldi's off, gonna sell them. Put these on until I get new wheels.

Image

Image

Then, these came in :twisted:
195/45/15 Toyo Proxes TR1
All four for $230 delivered to my door.

Image

So, my new setup will be close to what it was with the XXR's, but tweaked a bit. Want to get new wheels, get them mounted and balanced, and get an alignment before The Auto Combine 2016 on April 2nd.
We'll see how this goes. Stay tuned guys :D

My whole group will be up at Auto Combine. I will be there photographing coverage for our website. I ended up getting called into work for Import Face off in Gainesville so I didn't get to make it out. Officially have the day off for this though!

and after a quick clean and a patched hole in one of the tires, I got them on the car.

Better than steelies. makes a big difference in the look of the car.
New setup coming soon

Also picked up these two 195/50/15 tires with 50% tread for $10 each.

- Wed Mar 02, 2016 1:18 pm #358576 You are missing Import Alliance Spring Meet up in Atlanta from that list! It is one of the best meets around I make sure to go every year (driving up Saturday so I think I'm only going to make Sunday this year). Got the whole week off after it and I'm headed to a cabin up in NC for the whole week after to go enjoy the twisties :D .
