OEMplus+ again.

Enkei's didn't last long, picked them up for the price&tires anyhow, swapped the tires to the blue TC's, then traded the Enkei's for another set of OEM wheels. Granted not flawless like my OE set was, I missed 'em. I already dismounted the Conti's from the blues and plan to put them on these and just sell the blue TC's. What a bunch of damn work to just go back to stock .

While I know I have it listed for sale, I'm trying to reverse the "mod it until I hate it" feeling and give it a fighting chance and worst case prep it for an easier sale. I think a retune will cure all this though *hinthint!

Instead of "modding until you hate it", how about modding until you feel some moderate dislike, or modding until it just lightly vexes you.

You won't feel compelled to sell it then.

It's a cycle I've grown used to, acquire something, claim I'll do one or two things, let it take over my life. Cars, women, guns, they're all the same.

Get yourself one of these, its a hole in the sky you throw money into.



Luckily for me, my wife loves the old girl as much as I do.

The stock wheels look so much better. IMO. I love the drop, I want to lower mine but am worried about the wear and tear, I had a 3/3 drop on my old S10 Xtreme.

I'm going to be honest...with the red...the stock wheels look great! I think you made the right choice. I love the blue wheels too...gave it euro tuner look that not many of us opt for with this body style. I've decided that's the route I'm taking with mine...like or not...lol.

I like it! The SS looks good lowered with the stockers. What about powder coating the TC wheels graphite or something for when you want a change? Your pics make me realize how bad I need to lower mine if I keep it.

Just curious what mods you have made to the women in your life?

Grand Haven, eh? Holland here.

Graphite TC's would be great, was my "mild" choice during the powdercoat decision but I'm going to step back from spending money on it and focus elsewhere.
