4DCYKEY- thanks...I have always admired the K10s you have. They look REALLY good with pewter :smash:

FroDaddy- I am still pumped. I haven't driven her this much in a long time! :cheers:

BillY2KFRC- these rims really fit the car nice. I am real happy with the weight of them as well...look great too :D

MySea5- Ken, the pressure sensors didn't give me a single problem. I got the bands from Xtreme...they were very helpful btw :D ...just cut doen the valve stems, used a bit of servo tape, clamped them down then finished the install off with smoe safety wire. I did make sure to mark the sensors and rims for each corner so they went back to where they came from.

Really sorry to hear you still haven't gotten your new rims on your car yet :( I did hear that you were getting some HRE's now, though. Very nice! :cheers:

6500RPM- thanks! :cool:

Aaron's-coupe- :cheers:

Bill- thanks for the compliment and for the professional service y'all gave me for the sensor bands. :cool:

Patches- My thoughts exactly :D I like the classy look of them. Kind of an Italian thing I guess ;)

Thanks for all of the other compliments. I wish the piocs were better cause they look 100 times better in person...heard that one before, no? :lol:

After driving for a good while I am thoroughly impressed with the Bridgestone's. The hook phenominally. I just upgraded to a full '01 Z06 spec suspensiion system before the K58/S02s and this car corners flat and fast! :smash:

:seeya
