    Niiiice.

    I thought we were hooikng up today so you could check out my new ride, whazzup?

    Do you have the tire pressure sensors in your current model? I'm curious if they are just part of the valve stem and can be transferred to new rims (woudl be nice.)

    Gimmie a call man!

    Yeah those wheels look good. I ordered some Motegi Trak Lites last week but they're on back order for 4 weeks which sucks. Make sure you post up some pics with em installed. Oh and sorry to hear about your car getting keyed. I'd love to catch someone doing that, god only knows what I'd do. What part of Phoenix you from?
