Philadelphia's Classiest Drunkards
You know, whenever, lol. I have heard very good things about the Khumos also, with ultimate grip being the only downfall! In any case, I just want to beat Stephen Lockett (?) and his Talon!
I always want to beat him too.. He's got me the last couple of times, those damn Kumho's he's got on his car are my downfall.
Why by saturday? I can almost garuntee you will stop looking and a set will pop up. It always happens. Why the rush though? I really want to see you make it happen.
Well, since we're all on the wheel topic, I will let the cat out of the bag...I ordered some last night. 17x9.5 +24 Advan TC-II (GTR face). I dont know what the fitment will be like, but the math seem to work. Weight should be pretty light as the spokes are hollow, and my research shows 18x9.5 at 18.xlbs. Looks exactly like the pic below.



These will look awesome on a white X. I would of quoted the original post but every time i did a random post by marc came up, not the original one i was quoting.
Thanks Chip. The wheels were not something I had considered, but the price was what made my decision. I would have gone with the TF Nt03, but I kinda wanted to stay on 17s...
Pete, there's always next time! He's definitely more experienced than the both of us.

What can I say....I'm an impatient bastard. I really can't believe I'm gonna change wheels after not even two months on the te's. I've now decided to just stay on the te's till the end of summer and just keep my eyes open for the lm's.
I did one event in '07 and got hooked. In '08 I ran a handful of events with a buddy of mine in the Novice BSP class. In '09 I made the move out of novice into regular BSP, but stayed on street tires and got my butt handed to me by Rolandas & Bob almost every event. This season I stepped up my game to A6's and jumped off the BSP ship to SM.
I started mid-season in 2009, and was hooked. Did every event for the rest of that season, and taking this one more serious.
Did some more research on those Advans I bought...HKS used them on their Altezze time attack car. Good enough for HKS, good enough for me, lol!

I ran 6 (I think) events last year, thats it. I started pretty much the same time as Chu, but my car went from July till October of last year. Marc let me co-drive with him one event, the others I missed during that time frame.
