3 Years, still fresh & some new shoes...

....was a great day to get outside today and get the shine on. A week to the day, 3 years ago (****!) picked 'er up. Still runs as good, if not better. I'm still waiting for Koni and Earl's to get their acts together so I get my strut/shocks and lines. Over the winter I picked up these GT500-styled rims off of AM.com and wrapped them in BFG A/S Supersports. Had to toss in a yellow-top optima cause apparently listening to my ipod while detailing killed off the MC battery....in 4 hours... better my driveway than a highway. Swapped in some stock rotors and HawkHPS pads and I'm good to go.

Looks great man! I just still cannot believe that 4 hours of radio time killed that battery. What a POS these stock batteries are I tell ya.

Here's a side shot. Honestly, I can't remember the weight, but it didn't feel like 32lbs. They're fairly light. Used the black acorn lugs too.

Thanks for the pictures! I've got an Alloy GT as well and I'm looking at getting these wheels too (maybe 19s though). Do you have anymore pictures directly from the side? Maybe of the whole car? Any other photos you have would be great! Thanks for the help!
