Yeah, they're good at faking stuff lol. I just had to make sure they had reinforced spokes. I know a lot of TE37 reps have flat spokes and they broke a lot. These ones have a structural bulge on the back of each spoke to give it more strength. I think for a winter wheel, these will be great lol.

Just ordered a set of Stance sf01 forged in a 19x9.5 +30 with michelin pilot sport 3 at a 245/40/19. Along with that, I ordered a ARK cat back for my x sedan! I can't wait to put it in!

Nothing major, but replaced the plastic lock loop covers with metal ones.

Lol, yeah, Im not a fan of faking stuff, but for winter wheels Im going to wreck with snow and salt, whatever. Im not hiding the fact that theyre fake haha. I have center caps for them (even though real ones dont come with any) that say 'FAKE' instead of 'RAYS' in the same font that Im still waiting to arrive

Grumble grumble. Yeah as soon as I saw the page, I remembered finding this a few months ago. They didn't have KAD then either :-(

All of the above look excellent. Nice shade choice on the tails.

Thank you. I went with Lamin-x's regular tint, not smoked or anything. Def a nice shade darker. Still have few bubbles and imperfections but each day it is getting better.

This was my first go at it, I had never tinted anything. The 2nd tail-light came out better than the first, but that is expected with a learning curve. I would not rate it as too difficult, just takes time. You have to work the tint, our tail-lights curve in few different directions which causes some pretty nasty creases. You need to stretch the tint and use a blow dryer to soften it while using a rubber squeegee. When you order from Lamin-x you get the whole kit. Pre-cut, knife, squeegee and small water spray bottle. I did watch a good amount of Youtube videos first.

I ran out over lunch to pick up a couple things at the grocery store, and before going in, sat in the car and responded to a text from my wife. Because I don't text and drive.

So, there I am texting the wife when BOOM, my entire car rocks. I look to the right, and sure enough, some SFB just swung her car door open full force into the side of my car.

She realizes I'm sitting there and gives me this sorry shrug. **** you you inconsiderate fat ****.

I get it, fecal matter happens. But how about some common courtesy for others and their property? I can't control road debris from hitting my car, or a truck throwing a rock into my windshield, but YOU can control not opening your door into someone's car.

Now I have a nice little door ding and a scratch on the side of my car.

I tracked her down in produce and thanked her.

/end rant

at least you were fortunate enough to know who did it, worst part is the unknown when you come back to your car and theres a new dent/scratch

Yeah, I currently have THREE substantial dents in my car from parking lots, (in three different doors!) and not one person left a note or insurance info. One of them is 2.5" in diameter, 1/2" deep, and left a gouge all the way through the paint, so it's a $500 repaint of the entire door to fix it from the quote I got. I'm hoping the other two can be fixed with a combo of PDR and some serious buffing, but it's still going to be an expensive fix. People are such jerks.
