my updates are boring as f**k but im saving up money

cars now transferred into my name and all that jazz

got it inspected, so i can now be emissions exempt next year and forever



right now im still deciding on what wheels i want. top two are rotiform tmb and ccw lm5t's. i want rotiforms but im hearing they are having issues lately with orders and its a huge wait so the ccw's are seeming appealing. also need to see which one will clear a BBK

Pretty much the same wheel right? Which one costs more, if at all?

we pretty much do it all, everything is done inside the plant from making castings to doing the final polish on the metals. it is a high end stainless steel plant. our products go all over the world, we make parts for rolls royce, boeing, goverment products such as Apache and black hawks, S&W, cell phone companies, highways, multi million dollar yacht drive shafts, its an endless list. we use machines but its a few companies, we also have hand mills where is all done by hand.

im not sure if this really answered your question. if your more curious, here is the company link http://www.cartech.com/

i did meet with all the maintenance managers and the company management team and learned i was the first choice of 400 applicants though. so that was pretty cool, they all knew my name before i even knew theirs

Pretty much the same wheel right? Which one costs more, if at all?
kinda but no not really. i see a lot of differences but i look at them both a lot. cost wise they might be pretty similar. they are close to the same and both come polished. the price changer will be what it takes to go chrome and gold bolts

See if they have a 2 for one deal on wheels...
we should!

don't like cprs, mesh look I don't want.

I've never had either of those wheels though

they are going to be wide, low offset, lots of stretch. debating 165/50 on 9s

little update, but mostly have just been saving money. trying to save up to move out isn't easy

hids have been removed, a mess of wires and 13 feet of 10 or 12 gauge. I forget what it was
