So I have been looking for new wheels for a while now, mainly because my dad told me that I had to get snow wheels/tires and put my current 16's away. BUT I was cruising on craigslist and found a set of Brand New Rays G-games with Brand New Kumho tires for 650 bucks.
EDIT: It's a good thing I got these when I did, because I was out washing the Celi today (in like 40 degree weather.. gotta love WA) and I found a screw in my rear passenger tire. I didn't want to take it to Les Schwabb and have them tell me I need a new one when I just bought these, so I get to take my mom's Legacy GT Turbo to work and to pick them up. Pic-a-tures   What do you guys think? EDIT: Took a pic at school this morning. Tell me if you like it or not, and I am going to get other pics later today.. Any requests?

I haven't got them as of yet. I am picking them up today before work, so maybe have them installed tomorrow morning of something, cause I won't have time after work. This is just the first step in my suspension makeover. The next step is to either install my S-Techs, or get coilovers. Then some ST sway bars, and lastly, strut bars. It'll be a handling beast.

I picked them up today. The guy had them on a Civic (probably a newer once, since its 5 lug) and he sold that and got an Integra Type-R. Pretty sweet lookin car. The wheels are incredibly light. maybe 17 pounds with the tires and all. I'm excited to wake up tomorrow and put them on.. and see if my back tire is flat yet.

I'm at my girlfriend's house right now. I didn't get to go home last night because there was some hardcore dense fog last night. I did get a pretty damn cool picture with the fog though...can anyone say wallpaper?
I have to wait for Dell to send me a new charger for my laptop, mine died, so they said it would take 2-3 days for a new one, and the program is on there. They look pretty good. Got lots of looks at stops yesterday. Twas exciting. -------------------- 1991 MR2 - T-tops - Crimson Red - Gen3 3SGTE - Lots of money

Well, I tried taking pics today, but with all the fog around recently it comes out looking like its pouring outside, so I am going to have to wait until it clears up. I was at the store tonight and this man that was walking in front of me and my girlfriend was checking out the front of the Celi, and then walked to the back, and as I got close he asked me what it was, and if it was a one-year only body style. I asked him if he liked the gold wheels, to which he replied, Hell yeah I like those wheels! This car is Beautiful! (this all pissed my girlfriend off, because she thinks the wheels are disgusting). We got in and she turns to me and says "You paid him to say that didn't you!!?"

I'm waiting for the retards at Dell to send me the power cord for my laptop. They sent me the cord from the computer to the charger, but not from the charger to the wall. Maybe I'll see if I can find the software sitting around and install it on this computer. I have pics taken, and I have to say they are the sexiest things I have ever seen.

Looks fantastic man. Gold wheels w/ a polished lip on black cars is one of my FAVORITE color combo's! It'll definately look better when you lower it. Decided on s-techs or coilovers yet?
It would look really clean if you painted your drums and rotors black so they don't look so old Very nice addition to the car! -Josh |

I already have S-Techs, just waiting for a good time to get GR-2s and install them. I am going to paint them black, because it looks dumb and crap how it is. Maybe if I had the money I would do a disc conversion.
