I just read my own post from yesterday and I have no idea what this means or what I was talking about. Imposters?

I had a terrible day at work Friday and drowned my night in Tequila. That being said, the wheels look great like I originally said, but I can't imagine that it drives like a BMW any more.

The car still drives and handles very well. These are not the typical huge 24 chrome blang spinner type wheels. With the lowered suspension and wheels, it handles very well.

Either way, thanks for looking and thanks for your input, different strokes for different folks, I can respect that!

I'm glad someone saw the car, so you guys know this baby IS in NYC, and not off the burbs somewhere with perfect streets.

This car his potholes all day everyday, no issues yet!

Thanks for the comments guys!
The car and the wheels are gorgeous but I just cannot imagine, as a New York City driver, that those wheels and tires would survive the NYC potholes. They've eat so many of my wheels and tires over the years.

You would be surprised what a decent quality wheel can survive as far as potholes go. Here's a pic of my VIPER, I'm in NY too, and I've driven this car on the FDR, Bronx River Pkwy, BQE, everything. I'm sure you would look at it and think "no way that would drive on the FDR", but it has, many times. Good suspension helps alot too. In these pics, the car is on KW coilovers:

Yes, this is actually the 2nd car to ever have a set of D2FORGED wheels. The blue Gallardo on the site was the first!
