I like the guy in the thread that goes:

"I just used the regular nuts HRE gave me for my HRE wheels. The rims are retailed at $1400/$1500 per rim. I wouldn't spend $600 on lugs no matter how much the rims are, $600 lugs on $600 rims. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WTF."

What's this and why?" He got his on ebay for like $30, but still, all it does is add a couple pounds to the front, wtf. I hate stupid people so much.

Don't get me wrong, if you were running dual mags you might want to add a beefy gnd return wire to THEM. But if you're running a 10 bazillion watt stereo, you'd need a separate power system to not affect your ingnition's power.

I'll bet this is the secret all them 10 sec Hondas use......

These ******* kids are stupid!! And to think they are going to take over one day.

There are some incredibly stupid young men (aka children) in the military who actually spend their money on crappy cars and **** like this.

I work with a kid who had an older Jetta GLI (nice car........for a girl), traded it in for a newer GMC Yukon, then traded that in to LEASE a new Jetta GLI! BTW, he modded all these vehicles before he traded them in.

Then he bought an older Nissan Sentra for a DD to keep the miles off the leased GLI. Oh, and he honestly thought he could build up the Sentra to beat the Vette in its current form. He has since traded in the Sentra for a better platform to beat the Vette! He bought a 1996 Honda Del Sol!

The intelegence level is through the roof with this kid!!! Wouldn't you agree?

Oh and all this has taken place with in the last year!

Damn someone beat me to posting this.

That damn Fast and Furious movie series has made it hard to be a kid in the 20's now. If I ever mention "tuning" my Grand Prix I get looks from some people expecting me to go into the gobs of power I have added to my can by choosing a Folgers edition exhaust tip rather than the other brand.

$550 for friggen lugnuts though... you have to be nuts to do something like that, Especially without any type of a LOCK on the damn things. The kid who bought them just tells everyone that rips on him "you are all just haters" to each his own... but this is just plain flat out stupidity...
