oh yeah tt061880 have you been back out to the drag strip since you got your 20's? Just curious of your times with the larger wheels.

I appreciate the compliments everyone, my 3hrs of labors paid off hehehe.

I wash/wax the car at work so I didn't have the tire dressing with me. I put it on when I got home thought.

Yes it is very hard to wax a car in south florida, especially if you dont have a lot of time. As I stated I tried to wax my car during the last few weeks and the weather didnt permit. I brought the stuff with me to work and yesterday it was sunny most of the day so I didn't waste no time , it started to rain right after I finish hehe.

combfilter: I didn't even bother going back to the track. The car is a lot slower on 20s than on the stockies. The braking performance also decrease as well, the less dust pads contribute to that decrease as well. I think i'm going to sell the Joez since it's useless right now .

I bet if you put the JOEZ on ebay you could make more than you paid for it. People can't seem to find them.

Here's are pics. And seriously this wash/spray wax took less then 20min.
Damn man, it takes me 2 hours just to wash the car normally...
