Eibach Prokit, Bilstein HD's, G2 sway bars, Double Diamond SFC.

Yeah, the rims seem pretty expensive from the HRE website, but thats not how much I paid for them.

When I called HRE ( which is based in California ), they set me up with one of their top distributors here in South Florida...Wheels Boutique. I basically walked into Wheels Boutique...told them what I wanted and they gave me a final price of only $5400 with tires. I was initially shoked and said "are you kidding...?" I thought it was going to be waaay more expensive, but apparently they werent. Guess I just got lucky and got some kind of a huge disocount or something....i dont know.

Yeah, when a rock hits them...it will be a very sad day...but I guess I just have to try to be careful and not drive behind any huge trucks that pile rocks in the back of them. How many of you have seen those dam trucks that put this tarp over the back of it.....trying to cover 2 tons of rocks....but when they get on the expressway, the tarp ends up flapping all over the place and the rocks end up on your hood. Sucks. Happened in my Buick.

Well, I try not to DD the car that much. Most of the time I drive my girls G35. It doesnt compare to an F-Body obviously, those little cars pack some punch. I was suprised when I first drove it. Now if I could only get my girl to invest in a twin turbo for it, I wouldnt be going through F-Body withdrawal every time I drive her car.

Well, HRE are know for making very strong wheels. They are a forged modular 3 peice wheel. I wish they came with Jessica Albas Panties though...that would be a plus. Shyte, I would pay $5400 just for the panties alone...lol.

I'm not trying to hijack the thread, but HRE has a special right so TomzWheels is offering a group buy-in on HRE wheels. This is a limited offer and could expire at anytime so please respond ASAP.

Here's a link to our website: http://www.tomzwheels.com/catalog/Home/HREspecials.htm

We were going to post this tomorrow, but I saw the thread and thought people might like to know about it.

Kevin
