BoilerUpXFire – I could have visited more but I was going to bed earlier than I normally did. Another reason I need to go back. I guess I am getting old!

Thanks for the compliment on the wheels. The wheels/tires and stripes were a surprise for the Dragon group as I did not mention it on the forum first. The wheels are the same as Sheldon’s and Velociabstract’s but painted silver.

Front: 18 x 9 – 30 offset
Rear: 18 x 10 – 26 offset (Velociabstract has 25 offset)

Tires are Michelin Super Sports – 245/35 front and 285/35 rear. The gap for the front tire and the suspension bolt is around ¼ of an inch or slightly less.

The fronts stick out just a tad too much for my liking (the gap between the tire and fender) but I will fix that when I lower it all the way around, probably just an inch lower and tilt the wheels in a tad. The grip was awesome the entire weekend.
If I ever decide to get rid of them, you are first on the list. Haha

Franc - glad you liked the feedback. Let me know if I can help out in any other way.

I witnessed Nick leaving Pizzaguy in the dust and saving his own tail. A real friend would have pulled a Smokey and the Bandit maneuver by turning around and taunting the cop to chase him instead of writing the ticket for Pizzaguy.

I will not be able to attend the Spring Dragon – Disney vacation with the family and then a conference all around that same time but I am shooting for the Fall Dragon for sure.
