In other words, I'm not lazy. Gotta be motivated and ask yourself what could you be doing to make more money, other than sitting on the couch playing XBox. lol. Never tell yourself "I can't afford that". Instead, you need to ask yourself "What do I need to do, to be able to afford that?", and then do what it takes.

Now I know why gasoline cost so much, it's to help pay your salary working for the oil company so you can get them toys.

It does appear that way in the photos, but not in person. The wheels and tires are both the same width as the factory ones. The factory tires look even more pulled in, kind of strange. Sucker handles great though

So whats the paxton suppose to take it to?

I actually like the 6 spokes maybe even better than a 5 spoke on wheels that big.. The white is awesome too..

and to the people making comments about keeping them clean... If you had that car, would you mind? ha
