Nooooo that would have been MUCH less expensive!

I got them from some wheel place online. It was a tough find, I hope they work!

nice~! looking forward to your picts. dang, the last time i pounded
those plactic ones it shatter into little pieces. i really dont use
hubcentric rings unless they came with the wheels. like the Rota
Ugliossa wheels had no rings but no vibrations or anything like
that because these are all lugcentric by design.

boo, my store couldn't ship my keyboard out last night via FedEX 2Day.
so they're overnighting the huge box on FedEX P1 at their expense.
shall see it at work tomorrow. atleast it's only 36lbs unlike the
one in my music room which is over 72lbs.

Appears that kid doesn't like to be called a newb or asked to go fetch us veterans a beer.

So apparently it's not enough to be a jackass on one thread. You have to actually go to another to talk crap.

If you must know, I'm 26. The student loan is from my Master's degree that I completed last December, and my current car is about 8 years old. I'm sorry that I'm trying to make a smart purchase and not just be yet another impulse buyer biting off more than they can chew. If that means less respect from the venerable elders of the site, tough, but I refuse to be bullied by a bunch of Internet forum tough guys hiding behind the veil of anonymity. If you would care to have a serious discussion with me about the pro's and con's of owning a MINI, then by all means feel free to contact me privately. If not, please consider acting your age.

Go to another ? Read the thread, kid. I just didn't drop in here today.

You think I'm impressed that you're all of 26 ? Or that you have a degree ? Ummmmmmmmmm... no. You're barking up the wrong tree if you think that means anything to me.

And YOU are accusing ME of not acting my age after that childish post you just made in your thread ???

I'm not trying to impress you or anyone. You seem to think you know me, and I'm just pointing out that you don't.

You must not have very many guy friends that you joke around with. If it's ok for you guys to razz me, then it should be ok for me to razz you back. Also, please quit acting like it was such an affront to your delicate sensibilities. There is far raunchier humor out there, even on network television.

Oh, rrrrrrrrrrrrrreally.... I seem to know you ? What did I say about you that made you think I seem to know you ?

And now you're going to make a crazy generalization about me because I pointed out your violation of site guidelines ? If you were a FRIEND of mine and said that to me off this board, I'd have a good laugh with you. But you are on the board and you are not a friend of mine.

And this is not network television. FYI... the FCC doesn't regulate NAM.
