Feel free to send the nismo wheels this way. I will be more than happy to get new rubber put on and install them on my car so you don't have to store them.

Finally got my baldy front V12's replaced with PS-04 265/35/19

I just had the rears put on a couple of weeks ago. PS-04 285/35/19.

Now on to some front camber arms and a complete alignment.

Was defeated by the demon bolt. Even with swivel impact sockets and extensions and a maxed out air compressor (150 psi), it wouldn't budge. Gave up and installed the cbe. Now to find a shop to install the ART pipes.

Either this will help if the room permits or have it torched off



You let everyone down

With the flammables that I have in my garage, fire wouldn't be the safest idea and I wanted to save the cats just in case I ever sell the vehicle.

Here a picture on the new wheels, since I let you down.

Normally, I am not a fan of bronze/gold rims but yours look quite sharp. Nice job.

By the way, are you mad like angry or made like insane/wacked/nuts/psycho? I have puzzled over this.

Not angry. Just a scientist that doesn't follow the normal path, thinks way outside of the box.
