    In those pictures? I'm not sure. But my current wheels are ESM 002r's. Anyone else have input?

I have the Megan Racing camber plates and there are little notches that help with evening out the sides and I have IE adjustable plates in the rear.

    photo shoot! me and chris are both getting new wheels on this weekend end. (mine may not happen till sunday though..)

    I did use some prep-all and then a light coat if adhesion promoter I had. I paint a lot of stuff so I had most of this laying around. It really is simple though and makes a big visual difference.

    If you go to an auto paint store I know they will set you right if they know anything.

    No I have no ticking sound that sticks out for my exhaust tone/leak

    Did the injector ticking get louder with the #19s?
