Are there any nice roads out there that might be good for a little cruise (weather depending) if we have time? Seeing as we're a little further out of Chicago.

we just went over to the forest preserve nearby and stood around in the cold for a while. :lol:

Damn, pretty good turnout. Hopefully we get about that number of cars. :rolleyes:

Place looks cool too, and we'll have to hop over to the forest preserve for some pictures, it shouldn't be as cold as it looks in your pictures.

Missed a bunch in this thread. I will be there.

Lee- yes I still do have the wheels... trying to decide between selling them or powdercoating them white. those are my current choices and I have NO idea what I want to do... I'm still down to sell them if you want them but I think if anyone else really wants them I might have to pass. I'll bring them to this meet if you want to see them then.

Cool. It will be nice to have you and meet you again.

I think my Dad might be coming as well, bringing his S70.

SWEET! One more!

Lee, you still want me to bring those wheels if I still have them? They're back up for sale here on VS for $400 if you want em, I need to sell them so I can fund my Sawblades.

Why not put the Enkeis on the "new" S70? I think they would be better than those gold wheels, my opinion.

I picked up some of these...

working on getting those to fit this bad boy. 17x8.5 ET56 up front 17x9.5 ET56 out back... it's gonna be a chore but should work out once it's all adapted up. I need to have money to spend on the adapters so I need to sell the Enkeis. As I said, Im going a different direction with this car than many others, trying to do what dubbers do i guess. haha

You are right, they'd be better than the gold meteors, but for $80 ill rock the meteors til the tires are bald then sell them probably. I just have no practical use for the Enkeis as of right now.
