I'm skeptical about most replica wheels. There's a wide range of quality and safety. A guy I know had replica Z06 wheels on his Corvette and this happened:



We all like nice looking wheels, but I guess it's important to remember that wheels are functional first and cosmetic second. Don't buy cheap wheels from sketchy companies. :)

That's not supposed to happen with forged wheels from a reputable reseller (if they don't want a lawsuit lol).

Then again, lightweight wheels are also more delicate.

They are BMW Style 313 wheels. Miro 942's are reps of them. They are not listed on their website but can be found through a vendor on the forum linked below. The post I linked is the only one I linked but if you search that forum you should find more info.

Awesome...thanks. Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing those as some sort of a "performance" option. I like my stock 189's, but those really stand out :D

Just a quick grab with my iPhone from earlier today before we left the diner.

You should have bought the Camero or Mustang.

I don't see what's wrong with it. I'm talking about the 2 main competitors to the car...

You dismissed his choice of vehicle with nothing more then a short reply against it. No reasoning, past experiences or anything insightful or reasonable for such an assumption.

I agree that the Camero would of been my choice but I would have reasons lined up if I was to want to make a point about it.

Because the Challenger is the heaviest and has the weakest engine. Do the math :p

No, I am happy with MY purchase. Not to mention I bought the car in 2008. I would not have bought a Camaro regardless. Also, I have owned Mustangs (& still own one) since I was 18 years old and I wanted a change. My prference, my money, my choice. ;)

Go to a track with a Mustang, I highly doubt you won't regret your purchase.

I have been down the 1320 many of times in Mustangs including my own. I don't regret nor will I regret my purchase. I didn't buy the car to "go to the track" Again, it was my chice, not anyone elses. If you want to buy me a Mustang, by all means. :)

The first has a little larger turbo and a lot more boost than many expect. My SCCA car. The other is my Daily. Fully loaded and yeah, worth a a spin at the track too :D

That audi will be the car I get once I get a job so that I can rub it in my high school friends' faces haha.

So sick and tired of being one of the last few in school still and being hugely in debt while friends from my hs are living the life. A nice car will be my first act of revenge (after I sort out my finances of course!)
