Default Wheel Whoreding

O.k., who on here is GUILTY!!??

C'mon, go out in that garage, gather them all together, take a few snaps and POST 'EM UP! .... because everybody knows the FIRST step in recovery is admitting you have a problem ....

I for one, am the type of addict that will buy a set of wheels for a 'future' car that I don't even own ... anybody got some wheels like that?

Oh, I guess I should ''grease the wheel' here How about this pair of 'deep six' fuch's that I JUST SOLD after lugging them around for .... wait for it .... 12 YEARS!! Although I did make 400% on them

A set of Work wheels on the Turbo and a set of TechArt's in the attic, and looked at a third pair this morning on Ebay. I don't think I can post pics as I am not over my addiction.............

No, I think pictorial confessions of lust are a must!

I have been able to resist to date...so far. Heaven help me if(when) a WB fittment of what I want comes round. Also, BIG$$$ wheels for a DD-read not just sunny day driver, just deosn't make that much sense to me.

There have been a few close calls, but the questionable fittment,or need for spacers has kept me away. Also, you gotta run some crazy rear camber to get em to work if not right. I will not go more on the camber, than I have now.

Putting 10K miles per year on the car already means one set of rears a year.

Jason, great picture of what making 400% looks like but what's that band-aid on my head all about ??

Yesh .. I would say that pretty much qualifies ... would you like to be considered for the Wheel Whorders of Rennlist reality show first season?

I have 36, but it's among 5 cars, so only 16 "extra's". I feel much better after reading you post.

Ha. I wasn't sniffing, I was snopping, a subtle combination of snooping and shopping ... besides, I don't even own a car that they would fit .... yet ..
