VT - Your car looks sick! I love it. I'm also thinking about going with General Exclaims for my 124's in the summer. If you have any bad experiences with them, please post it. Nice job pal. Car looks amazing.

cmans,
Where have you been? Haven't seen you whoring lately. The post whore mantle, I guess got passed to me while in your absence. Now that your back, I'll return the mantle.

I haven't really done any sort of spirited driving with the General Exclaim, but you can bet I will be soon.

Hahaha! I was in Miami this weekend for a buddies wedding. I actually had my laptop with me, but my wife said if I went on this forum ONCE, she would divorce me. LOLOLOL!

B/T/W - I saw so many bimmers in south florida, it was insane. I saw many M5's/M6's and countless M3's. Was pretty insane. I took a pix of one and will post it on the sightings thread when I upload it.

Nice looking ride! Good job on the mod. Any vibration issues with the spacers? If I have stock sports suspension with 166s w/o spacers, 285 should be fine right? I want to avoid spacers if I can. Should I avoid spacers?

Thanks. Zero vibration issues due to the spacers. I still have vibration issues but it's b/c of my bent wheel. You won't rub with 166s and 285s. I know Lomag, our admin, was running 285s before switching out to 275s. You might want to PM him and ask why he changed sizes.

Yes, here in South Florida (Miami), I see an E60 about 1 in 50 cars. They are everywhere.

I have my General Exclaims on my OEM 166s. They are really nice tires. They seem quiet and they grip well, especially on wet roads. I would love to see an actual comparison with with PS2s. I think that the GEs are a formidable competitor at less than half the price.
