Haha, you buying? New wheels and a paint job are last on the laundry list of mods I want to do. I refuse to get bigger and/or black wheels too.
Oh, Sof developed some new problems. Her belt started squeaking (maybe from the hood being open for like 7 hours during a ridiculous hot and humid day? Not sure on that) and something feels like it's grinding on the pedals. From inside it sounds like the exhaust is hitting something, but I dunno. Case is looking at it tonight. She just doesn't sound right.

I still have my trans valve body to fix, dyno tune and rear gears, get my custom gauge cluster and hvac set, new spoiler, and who knows what else will decide to break next. All of that stuff is priority before wheels. My wheels now are pretty nice and I really like them. They shine up pretty well. So it's not even a thought for anytime soon. $600 is better spent towards my tune than unnecessary wheels.

Yeah. I like a Corvette set of wheels, I'm not sure what they're called, I've found them listed under so many things. They're a 5 spoke though. But they're bigger wheels and I don't want bigger wheels. So I still kinda have to find what wheels I want anyway. I'm very picky when it comes to wheels.

Well Sof's new problems are fixed! Turns out the power steering pump bolts were backed out. Caused a horrible grinding noise and feeling in the pedals. It made the alternator (I think that's what it was, I'm going to go with the alt because it had the same high pitched squeak) to squeak because of the uneven tension from the wobbly ps pump. So yeah. She's fine now, thankfully. Always remember to check your bolts and recheck your bolts and check them again!
