Everytime someone parks like a jackass next to me (and i mean like a jackass)... I leave the biggest lugey i can haulk up on their windshield. Gets the point across, and doesnt damage anyones property even if they damaged mine.

Got some new tires. I was in desperate need of these. Right before I put the steelies on I was driving home in the rain on the highway and dropped it to third. Wheelspin, at 70mph, not fun at all. Scared the shit outta me. Anyway, got some Riken Raptors off of EXTREME. Man I love the way a directional tire looks.


^Anyone know how to get these wheel weights off? I thought off maybe goo-gone or something like that but I am afraid I will mess up the paint. And holy shit, tire shops want like 70 dollars to mount the new tires. I thought it would be 25-30 tops.

grab a pair of pliers those wheel weights have some glue on the back that should come off with a little goo gone after.

I always used a thin Dry wall puddy spade at work. They pretty much come right off.

[Phantom409]

They just use some tape on the back like 3M so they should just come right off.

I spun my tires when I floored it at 55mph getting onto I-75 in the rain, haha. I wasn't so much scared, but surprised - then I started laughing.

Those look like some badass tires, I remember how much of a difference getting new tires on my Camaro was.

The worn Goodyears it had on it when I bought it made driving in the rain a little fun...but I had to take it easy when turning left...thing would get way sideways in an instant.

[BP_Z28]

dumb question..but is there a reason why the weights are on there?

[my95z28]

To balance the rim so that it doesn't shake like a mofo going down the road.

[MP81]

Yes.

All the more reason to leave 'em on.

[my95z28]

They will have to be taken off when the new tires go on, and I have had bad luck with other people not doing jobs up to my standard. IE scratch the **** outta my rim when taking those off.

imo gmmg is alot of $, you could make your own for dirt cheap with the same stuff as a michigan guy makes the same chambered mufflers and they are like i think 75 a piece, just something to think about

I'm only a few months late here, but the company is classic chambered industries and they're out of milford michigan. The owners a real nice guy, he even met me halfway to pick up the mufflers for my TD's.

[BP_Z28]

Really, thats what I was really considering doing with mine. Do you have any clips of the classic chambered muffler TD system?
