I found C5 spec TE37s on yahooauctions.jp, but they're grayish blue, and importing them would be an extra $500 or so.

I like my 18/19 forgestars, but don't like the limited sizes in competitive 19" tires. Also, rotating is YUGE for maxing the life and $$$ of my competition tires. Otherwise I'd be trying to fit 335s on the rear and keep the 315s up front

But no scrape
No scrape?!?!

Mine just has a bunch of dangly pieces hanging from the splitter because scrape race car.

I'm still trying to track down another pair of C5Z fronts, everyone wants $400. :disgust:

I must be looking in all the wrong places. I've been window shopping for a week now, and haven't seen anything like that.

Wtf roads do you drive on? Are vette rims that shitty? I know bmw rims are weak as hell. The one thing I like about SoCal is there are no potholes where I drive.

17's by themselves? Should be dirt cheap. I really should look for a set to mount ET Streets on...

Come to Airboatville.... We'll show you the wonderful funding of our state and how they encourage little potholes to grow and multiply by getting them addicted to meth and coke at high school parties.

You can literally drive across the state line and be like.... "Holy shit, Mississippi's roads are so nice" as you cross that line.

Sounds like every part of NY that isn't NYC.

I actually feel bad for my truck driving on some of the roads here.

Mine is a daily now :lolol: Change the oil twice a year, buy tires once a year. Stupid ass car. I'm just enjoying not having a car payment and saving a fuckton of money.

It would've only been for a month or two, but I've decided to just wait and pump up the front right PSS once a week. NFG. New tarz soon.

As for the cheap 17s, just turn down the pricey ones and take your time to find desperate people. I'm at $220 now for 3/4 :ramz:

With any luck I'll actually make a profit on the wheel change when I sell my 50 AE set.... complete with free shredded PSS that stink every drive!
