Is this some kind of new ghetto trend 17" or bigger Rim's in the rear and steelie's in the front. Been seeing alot more of this whats going on ?

[c25ahatch]

Makes sense to me. Small diameter lower profile wheels/tires on the driven end of the car to effectively change the final drive ratio, improving acceleration. The rears I would assume to be your standard street rims/tires. If I am correct, I would recommend putting small diameter, narrow rear tires on as they would save you some rotational mass and theoretically improve acceleration as well.

Is that an infamous evil header panel I see on the car next to you?

[slavteren]

they are actually 13" aloy ats rims, and the reason is that my engine is very very slow with the dayly 17". so i found a set of 175/50 tyres and nountet them on a set of ats. yes it is a evil headerpanel on the car next to me, actually i'm being beaten by my own car!!! ha ha ha. a friend of me is racing it at the local competitions cause he weights about 70 kg less then my self (i'm a big boy)...

i think it is, if only i could live in europe and have all their goodies, oh wait, i dont want to pay $4+ a gallon for fuel....hell $2.30 is WAY TOO damn much!

[slavteren]

the evil header you have to fabrikate your self, and hey, you forgot the extra taxes on cars (180% for new ones).
i am serously thinking of traveling to the states for a while, since my "wife" have decided to leave me... what are the job-chances on your side of the pond? and house/ apartment prises?

WOW that's some cheap gas. It's $2.80 a gallon for 87 octane in the Chicago suburbs, well over $3.00 in the city, and I hear San Diego is already over $4 a gallon.

[SlaveSpawn]

Gas where I live is $2.69 gal most expensive in San Diego is $3.25 in El Cajon. I'm use to gas being high here since there r so many cars and they know that can get, while the rest of the nation pays less then $2 and still whine about it.

I thought gas prices depended on how liberal your state was

Were at 3 bucks a gallon now, and the closest large city without going over the boarder is seattle which is 89 miles away. My friend from South dakota is paying a mere 1.50 or something like that.
