Spensly you are right about the cleaning I sure hope the rotex pads will help some...
and Gator if those are the rims you have they are nice, but a little to daring for me... if you know what I mean, but nevertheless fun to look at... those rims you linked if you don't already have them will run you about the same price as mine, maybe a little less based on what kind of paint you want and if the black center you want is chromed...

I bought the cheapies $780 delivered, but then I spent about $1,600 on the new PS2's.

Re: Ordered New Rims
They are beautiful rims, but... Four grand for a set of rims is a bit steep for me ... or are there tires too?
I was able to originally get the TSW rims and the Pilot Sport All Season tires AND the TPM sensors installed and shipped to me for under $1600.
You can find a lot of nice styles that are not nearly as expensive... just do some searching.

As I am picky with everything my rims need to be multi spoke 15 min they must be factory chromed.. and must be factory sizes with factory widths... I was unable to find a cheaper set up than the rims I purchased...

But for what you paid for your rims they look pretty good...
To me the crossfire is an exotic... it might not cost like one, but I still think of it as one.. BTW i am about to spend $450 on exhaust tips...

SRT-6, and truthfully, I believe I'd rather have the Continental ASP tires
the car came with. These are just not as sticky as the Contis. BTW, I paid
just over $800 for the Goodyears back in May. Got them from Tire Rack.

Re: Ordered New Rims
for some reason every review I have read on them has placed them eaither of equivelant to the PS2s or even above in some cases.. at a fraction of the cost and better thread pattern I though that they are the way to go, but I have not placed an order on them yet, cause it still will be a while till the rims come and the tires would be deliverd within a week...
Damn still another 4-6 weeks min for the rims... damn.. custom rims.. better be worth it..
