Default Got some new shoes from Cali seller!!!

Stupid DHL.....they left these in front of my house without so much as a ring of the doorbell. No notice on the front door, and placing them straight view of anyone driving by!!!

Package 1:


Package 2:


First wheel stripped from like 50 layers of packing:


"Dad, these aren't Mugen or Volk!! What's the deal? Oh I see, they are mad-JDM VIP!"


"Take a look Dad, the rubber is in better condition than what lightwave76 told us!"


After an hour on the first package, I had to get some reinforcements for package 2. Son called me a wuss and came over to give me a hand, mind you, he just had surgery this past Monday.



"Ok all done, Dad."


"Let's go get some grub."


"I said c'mon!"

Two more pics....the valve caps are just too cool:


...as is the ultra cool Junction Produce branding tape:


Have to say that lightwave76 was an awesome seller! He was patient to no end and very flexible regarding my 'buying situation' (work schedule was REALLY bad).

LOL Congrats on the Scaras! Hurry up and slap those on, or should I say, your son should hurry up and slap those on . That was very stupid for DHL to leave those in plain sight .

BTW, no to get off topic, but why did your son have surgery?

Thanks for all the well wishes for my son through PM's. I'm fairly a stranger on this site, so thank you for making me feel welcomed.

My son had a 'manhood' surgery....if I explained it, it'd give all the men on this board a reaction of shriveling ******** and ********* retracting up into the cavity of their pelvis. Seriously. I'm surprised he's walking around as much as he has, luckily though, he's a chip off the old-man's block. Get him with his car toys, or now with his dad's car-'toys', an he forgets about his pain, hunger, or even poopie diaper.

As far as mounting these wheels up, I'm going to have to wait. I have quite a bit that needs to be done to the GS. I need to pick up an SUV for the wife (seeing the GS is her daily ride right now), I need to mount up all the sway bars and coilovers I got sitting in the garage for the car, I need to mount up some of the chassis braces, then I'd like to get the exterior touched up after what it faced this winter, and then finally mount the wheels.

The car is currently sitting on 3rd gen GS wheels, with about a 1.5" drop on springs and OEM struts, with the RMM full kit.
