HKS could have chose them for sponsorship reasons.

Yes I have considered that. The car had a huge Advan sticker on it! What Japanese car isn't using Volk or Advan? But of all the wheels they could have choosen from the Advan lineup, they used TC-II ...

Have you gone many other places and decided you like that the most? Why keep going to the same place?

I would love to go back to where we honeymooned in Jamaica, but Shels is all about trying something different... Just curious as to your thoughts...

Where do you go? I went for my third time in march for the young girls and their spring break. I actually dont prefer cancun for a relaxing vacation.

Btw, bulletproof called me back and they gave me good and bad news. The good news is that they can readily get me the bbs lm's but the bad news is they want 1700 PER WHEEL. *faceslap

this will be the second time there. we've just never had such a good experience on a vacation before.

i used to live in miami and usually try to stay out of the carribbean for various reasons. i've seen and lived right near many beach resorts so i've developed plenty of likes and dislikes about beach vacations and resorts.

you know how you get blown off or given the run around at the concierge in a lot of resorts when you request something? imagine an entire city like that......miami.

it's called the royal cancun. it is part of real resorts. they have another resort that is a bit bigger in playa del carmen but after reading reviews the cancun spot is the place to go. plus you can practically walk to down town if you want.

it's all inclusive.
