Default she alternates between peroni and beck's

She hasn't brought any bud light into the house yet so I think I'll keep her.

Default Fenders are rolled front and back.

I think the offset is just perfect. The Forgiatas are 40 mm offset, but they came with 3 mm spacers. I also think the PS2 are just narrow enough that they dont rub the inner suspension or the fenders. I dont see any signs of rubbing when I removed the wheels.

um. the fact the tires look worn right down to nothing on the OZs might have something to do with it

how much weight do you think worn rubber is worth?

Default they are worn, about 20K miles on them.

I wonder if they will survive a track weekend? They are almost like slicks.
Tirerack lists that tire in that size as 24 lbs.
