Thanks for the compliment! I ordered them from SonicMS.net. They're a local shop in my area and have done all the mods on my car. Call 650-691-9000 and ask for Darwin and tell him Tony referred you.

Darwin currently has them nicely stacked next to several other customer wheels. I'm sure he's okay with them being there for a few weeks but I'll talk to him to make sure.

You know I'd be careful with your wheels and if anything was to happen, I'd take care of them without question.

Oh and my rear wheels are 10". I had Barrett measure it when I was there on Fri.

I'll just leave them at Darwin's then... Just let me know when you are done with them...

I did not mean to sound like I was worried about them... I know you will take care of them. Calton loves the 166's so much he may want to buy them off me just to have another set when you are done with them, HaHa!!!

Is CCH still around? Crawdaddy's on Story was the best and biggest I ever had, but if they are out of season, sure they are small there too right now...

CCH is now called The Line Shack. The new owner was in the military and that's the name of his division. They now serve Texas bbq items and although I'm not a bbq fan, I've heard the food is awesome. They also still serve crawfish, shrimp and crab boils.

Although crawfish is not in season, it may depend on where the restaurants get their supplies so some might still be able to get good size critters.

Oh and I heard they'll be opening up a Boiling Crab in that Target plaza on Capitol Expwy and Silver Creek Rd soon. Boiling Crab was the first cajun restaurant that opened up in Orange County years ago and someone copied their name and opened up one on Capitol Ave and McKee. The one in the Target plaza is affiliated with the original one from OC and not a copy cat.

Some of you probably know that I finally decided to sell my Radenergie R10s (to C's Bimmer) and switched to some 360 Forged Mesh Eight wheels. I still love the R10s but I wanted something lighter. I had ordered these wheels with the titanium fasteners but due to some mix-up, the wheels were done with regular bolts so they're shipping me the replacements. The wheels currently weigh 27.4lbs for the front 20x9 and 26.4lbs for the rear 20x10 (yes the fronts weigh more due to the thicker back padding than the rears). The titanium fasteners should hopefully reduce the weights by another 1.5-2lbs. For comparison, I weighed a 20x9 VIP Modular 3-piece wheel and it was about 31.7lbs.
