They're in the registry. You should get some 22's like you were talking about in the EVOm thread and post video on You Tube from the drag strip.

I was actually serious about that. We were thinking if I had coilovers on it to raise to the max, throw on some 22s, then go to the quarter mile bumping some Rich Boy and just cruise down the quarter mile and run like a 30 sec pass. lol

Wow.

If there's a best dull-monotone rapping category at the Grammy's he should win by a landslide. I'm glad I don't have MTV anymore.

Nice wheels Nick. In the future I would hope everyone could refrain posting pictures of the entire car like you did. Makes it much more artsy. Oh and those are the same tires as on my 20s which are apparently garbage for any type of performance car according to the EVO owner so be forewarned.

Yeah yeah, the sun was too low for good far away shots.

I'm going to try and grab some this weekend, after lowering a little and a wash/wax.

I was rolling at that guy's comments on the tires. 'Cause really, you need racing slicks for driving on the freeway if you have an EVO.

Clearly that guy doesn't do any sort of competitive motorsports, or he'd realize that most people like a nice, decent, lasting, quiet all-season tire to drive around on, and set of sticky, wide, aggressive tires for the track. No need to drop $220/tire on tires that will only last 10k miles for daily driving... it's not like you'd ever need all that traction unless you're driving like a moron on the street.

Hm.. well.. no pics yet, but..

Steering away from the 5-spoke and 6-spoke stockers I've got, there's a set of Compomotive TH2s sitting around and "something else" in 17" due to arrive sometime..

I'm workin' on it.
