It's a red 1997 one, has silver 18' Volk race rims on it which are kind of 'crap' condition, I'd say someone didn't want to sell their nice rims and slapped them on at the auction. Nothing really wrong with them, just cosmetic.
I'll either keep them for khana shenanigans, get them re-machined to get rid of the scratches or just buy a 2nd set of something in either black or white.
edit-
here you go

Please go with black, white rims just look so rice, IMO.
But again...If I HAD to.... :p |

Probably look at some of the Works Emotion series in black or dark bronze, the Volks aren't too bad I've used them in the past and they weigh under 20lb usually which is something the wanker kids never figure out chucking huge chrome things on. They actually slow you down...

It' not too bad, just the standard 3inch through jap-brand system, it is fairly quiet though which is a nice change from the screaming, hissing, roaring thing... |

oh i dont buy cars that when an exhaust is added sound like a screaming baby. engine must be 2000cc or larger. preferrably 2500cc minimum. :D
oh and yeah light rims are ftw. i hate gram lights though. ugly rims. |

It opens up letting you know there's some serious business happening, as well as some serious whiplash :p
Think #1 or #4 out of the works series. |

I can't see an 18 or 19' rolling diameter, 9.5' wide set of those having a lot of change out of $2500 though and HRH who is in charge of the 'Department of Sensible Things' seems to disagree with me, along with not buying an Aristo that she can drive... :nervous:
But yep the #1 is the nicest |

anything over 17 is generally unnecessary anyways. too much unsprung weight slowing you down. too many ing n00bs in the car scene. s it all up. |

I drive a Blazer.
Yep, been thinking about buying a Deluxe car-wash at the gas station one of these visits, but man, spending $7 on your car just seems ridiculous. |

Yes, but the 'Department of War and Finance' has a bigger say in these things, course someone isn't happy about what could be a 1st class trip to Europe being spent on a car but, well... she shouldn't have broken the last car!
Course she didn't break it deliberately and I'm not playing the guilt card just yet :D

They're standard with an 18' 45mm profile tyre. So, rather than recalibrate either the speedometer or my brain to take into account speed differences, I'll just stick to stock.
I'm not a big fan of very large rims either on road cars, 18' as is, is kind of pushing how much I'll put up with. |
