Default For Bluebimma...

Hey Bluebimma, here are the pictures you requested. I am running 18"x8.5" with 224/40-18 on the front and 18"x9.5" with 245/35-18 on the rear. I have not had the need to roll the fenders since I have not experienced any rubbing. The wheels have been on my car for a little over a year now. I hope they help you make your decision about the CSL wheels. Enjoy...

lol he was actually a really good sport about the whole thing. The best part was that he didn't say anything and was working in the bathroom for a few hours until someone had to use the bathroom, then we moved everything back to his work station. He thought it was very funny. It was his last week of work anyway.

Car and rims are very nice. Still kind of up in the air on the decision, but the CSLs could probably do the trick in their hyper black finish to go with the color of the roof that im doing.


Thats pretty funny. The last prank i pulled on my coworker was; stole her car, put it in our company garage, TP ana seran wrapped it, took pics, exposed her to the company for being a bad driver. I chose to do it on april fools since a month before that, she totally backed backed into my car, didnt notice at all that she pushed it a good 2-3 feet, then left.....WOMEN...I was actually given permission to do it on company time and property, go figure.

Everyone thought it was funny. I got the best resonse from our human resources supervisor who owns a good 1/4 of the company. He thought it was the funniest thing hed ever seen. He took the pics and put it in our company newsletter and had her conduct a safety meeting on auto safety using the pictures that i took and stating that if you hit "Tony's"....my.... car, this will happen to you. Good times though. Funny thing was that managers and supervisors helped by getting me her keys and kept her busy while i stole the car and "vandalized" it.

Thanks Jeff! My only other exterior mod plans are to install the splitters I got from DDM on the front bumper and possibly a m-tech ti rear spoiler or the ac schnitzer rear spoiler.
