Its been one hell of a week for me ...  I haven't made any posts or replies in a week ....

Closed on my new home  .... BUSY ..... BUSY... BUSY  .. since last Friday  , moving  ... MOVING SUCKS  !!!!!      Finally getting settled in ......

And to make matters worse   .......

Last Friday my fiancée hit a curb and bent one of my wheels .... Sent it out to get it straightened and refinished on Monday ... got it back Thursday ....   

I Sold my OEM rims when I got the Giovanna Wheels  because they would not fit with MY Wilwood Big Brake Kit   ....

Spacers would have Made them fit ...

The Lesson  learned  ... Make sure You have a spare wheel and tire  or spacers for OEM 20 " wheels ...


Just ordered an inexpensive 22" wheels to keep as a spare   .....

Ouch mamma!  I know how you feel.  I was really depressed during my headlight nightmare.  Congratulations on the new home.  Glad the worst is over.

Sorry about the wheel, man, I know you were looking for ways to protect them from curbing!  All settled in your new home?  Hopefully you were able to give stuff away or yard sale it to make the move a little easier.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
