Not really sure of the resale value so you motorheads should be able to help me...

Kinesis K27, 18 x 8.5 ET38, three piece, forged wheels. Polished lips and shotpeened centers...Perfect condition.

Original cost direct from Kinesis is $914 per wheel..<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1323001.phtml">My Original Post- - ></a></li></ul>

The first is Zev's car...and the second are the new three piece Galileo from OZ.

BTW - How did you hardwire your iPod? Did you use the BlitzSafe adapter?

yea i did use blitzsafe, farely clean i think, here is the mini ipod write up...

just one small monster cable that I plug the ipod into. It is fully hidden from under trunk mat->under rear seat->under door lining(fully concealed)->under driver seat...the ipod sits in a leather case by incase(got at apple store roosevelt field-its nappa leather like s4 seats) and the leather clip built into the back sits perfectly in the space behind the cig lighter. Cable slack is hidden b/t driver seat and console in case a passenger wants to take it out to select songs. I just have it on random and fast forward through songs. I can see what is playing by glancing down. I can show you in person or take pics...It is probably one of the best things I have ever done(2330 songs and counting). Sound quality is great too. Total install cost was as follows:

Blitzsafe from autotoys=70.00
20 ft. Monster Cable RCA to Mini from Amazon=35.00
Incase leather case for ipod from apple store=20.00

I plan on selling my CD changer which will cover all these costs. If you choose to do an install like this instead of using the guy in Syosset let me know and I can help you hide the cable and wire it.

We can meet up and you can hear it...Its really good...

The real sound quality factor is in the mp3 itself. is it 128 or 192 for example. I also keep the source volume of the ipod down and the stereo up more. The monster cable is somwhat thick good quality too. Is it full CD quality prob not but its very very good I think. I also like to see my ipod so I can see what song is playing and the leather case looks real good with the interior.
