>LOL. yeah I know. I love them. I looked for mine for a long time. Trying to find a decent set without curb rash and whatnot. Most people use them for winter tires here so they suck. hahahah.

I think it matches my style that i'm going for. OEM/JDM stuff so it only makes sense that a set of OEM rims will match my car. I've never liked too many aftermarket rims and the ones I like are out of my current price range. hahaaha.


My old ones had a mean curb dent and a lot of curb rashes from the previous owner. I'm thinking of getting a set again next year. Lol.

I bought 2 sets and picked the best 4 wheels.... then sold my second set for twice what I bought it for tongue.gif So total price for my 4 nice wheels was like $110 or something tongue.gif

yeah, I got mine for about $150. Had my sister and her bf go pick it up for me while I was in Korea. hahahaha. too good a deal to pass up and they were FLAWLESS with tires as well.


SMALL UPDATE FOR TODAY:
changed my oil finally after about 2 weeks being overdue but didn't drive it anyways. just sat in the garage.
also, change my brake pads to EBC Green Stuff and man!!! what a difference!!! they bite like crazy.

finally got the fog switch and relay put in.
hooked up my set of fogs to test and they work!
now just waiting on the second set of fog lights to come in since the first set broke in shipping... hopefully they will come through.

hahah. look around craigslist or newcelica forum. they're always selling them.



ANOTHER UPDATE:

after 3+ years of having the trunk drop on my head during winter I've finally replace my struts for the hatch.
bought them off ebay from a company in Wisconsin funny enough. but they work great. easy 3 min install lol.
but they're quite strong even with my spoiler+euroblock combo. springs right up.

Mine were blown so I bought new Monroe ones from rockauto before the winter and they're already done again...

no, it was all plug and play. the control stalk just switches out with a few screws and then I just crawled under the driver's side and plugged in the relay. I already had the fuse for it strangely enough. but not sure for yours since yours is pre-facelift and I don't know if you have the wires for it as mine is all there.

nah, it's got daily driver duty once again. Corolla's got electrical issues so sorting that out first and then racecar.

Off road use only, pffft.... I think you're the first to get the EZ Street series.

hahaha yeah "off road".
but I think a couple others have used them before. I'll let you guys know how they are once I put them in.

since I'm doing up the suspension and gonna have to take off my end links, I said what the hey and bought me some racing beat end links for the rear. I'll probably do ST185s for the fronts later.

Looks like burnt orange to me. Then again I can't tell the difference between black and certain shades of blue, and gray and certain shades of green.
