Ya gotta love how much wheels really do mean a lot for cars. Completely changes the character of the vehicle. The steelies are definitely the business. :p

17's are great for winter or track use. For a street car the 18's look better IMO. And this is after looking at two cars side by side.
they definitely are! i'm going to get some more miles on these tires and then decide if i'm going to keep them or not (i have a friend looking for some winter tires so they'll likely get these if i don't like them ;) ).Quote:

CCAF system is working well so far.
received my NCSExpert/INPA/SSS/DIS/WinKFP cable today - looking forward to checking it out.
I need to try installing that on my win10 laptop now that I have PA Soft up and running.Quote:

that would be a good idea. i'm installing it on a 10-year old IBM laptop running XP... ;)Quote:
