Arin, would you or Pete be interested in my wheels? I'm low on money right now, saving up in case I need to go into the Police academy as a non affiliate. They are 10th Anni wheels, powdercoated semi gloss black with 275/40-17 BFG KDW AS on them, with about 5k on the tires. Couple of stipulations, I'd need your old wheels for mine to sit under a cover, and I'd want to buy the wheels back from you haha. Say $400 and trade?

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure you need to have proof that you're qualified, so certification from some driving school that says you're not going to just wreck yourself or something. hecksa $$$

I wish man, love those wheels, but I just dumped a bit too much money into the bullitt to be spending anymore right now. This is basically all I'm going to do on this car for a long time. Fingers crossed for you though man. If I find anyone in need of wheels, I'll letcha know. in the meantime theres always CAfords lol, though getting them back is a bit more of an issue there.

I think I promised them to Nathan a long time ago, though I'm not sure if he wants/needs them anymore. lemme know if you do want them, we could work something out. And if you're reading this Nathan, feel free to chime in

I had thought as much but I wasn't sure. How low do the Steeda Sports go? You have even more of a reason than I do for not going to low lol. What with that weird "snow" thing you keep going on about

All good man, I knew it was a long shot. I'd only do the trade with someone I trust - that's why I only offered them to you and Pete. That and I selfishly want to see them on a Bullitt and/or on Pete's BAB GT haha!

I do have to admit, the possibilities leave me drooling, especially considering the drop

I eventually want to get a set of the 10th anni wheels in bronze

Yep I love the bronze ones too. Not made anymore though. In that case I'd go with Forgestar F14s in custom bronze. They're almost identical to the shape of the 10th Annis. Mine are OEM wheels though, professionally done. Funny when I bought them, I had plans of buying an OEM set and having them powdercoated. Then, while surfing eBay for a set, I found them for sale by a guy back east off his Cobra show car. They were done exactly how I wanted them! That's why I'd want to buy them back haha. I'd even buy them back for an extra $100 if the trade happened!

They're a 1.25" drop, but I took out some of the isos so it's lowered about 1.5". She handles awesome though! Significantly better than the mach springs and stock shocks/struts.

man you are really testing my self control. I'm unfortunately also in a saving stage. I'd really like to go to Ireland this summer, so I gotta save them pennies lol

and those F14s are most worthy

I wish I could pick them up too, but funds wouldn't allow it, and I'm pretty sure my wheels are worth more than yours anyway with my PS2's. Sorry man.

Just got a call saying m cars aligned. Probably picking it back up in a few

I asked them to just do a general vehicle inspection, sicne I have no idea what the rattles and noises are. According to Firestone, my right lower ball joint and tie rod have a lot of play in them, so I guess thats whats next on the agenda lol

I hope you did not read my thread... Lol. I will help you out with the ball bearing if you need it. I also can grab you the part numbers of the tools you're going to need to do the job.

Car's back and it appears that there was more stuff wrong than I had anticipated.

in addition to the lower ball joint and tie rod, they said I was missing some brake hardware (i did remove the dust shield on one side because it was loose). Last but not least, my master cylinder is leaking.

I've done the tie rod before, and Peter seems to have plenty of experience will ball joints :P but has anyone ever replaced a master cyl?

Its not bad. Sucky part is having to bleed the brakes afterwards.

i got pulled over yesterday because the officer saw my factory seatbelt hanging and assumed i wasn't wearing a seatbelt. then after that was cleared up, he gave me a fixit for my third brake light

ordered a NIB clear LED one, I just plan to tint it black to match my tails anyway. only ran me $25 shipped though!
