looks good! yeah, similar design to mine, but more "square" in a way, I guess.
What size are you going for?

Yo Nutz, you have incredibly good taste!
 I got the flat black Minuz also! Yes, there are incredibly light, and I could not be much happier with them.I bought mine from buywheelstoday.com for $89 apiece, but I think DTD offers free shipping, so prolly a wash. Why is weight so important...are you auto-x'ing or something? Last edited by kurokoma-kun; 08-15-2007 at 02:03 PM. |

I feel that this cars Greatest asset is the fact that it only weighs 2200 or so Pounds... Installing things like a Stereo with Amps... and Front/Rear Strut bar... and a Turbo kit... with all that piping... will add weight to the car... Removing as much weight as I can where I can... Back seat, Spare tire, Wheels, and a new battery should counteract all that added weight... My buddy works for a Toyota Dealership... and before I bought the car we both took one out to race down 309... Well I know I'm a better driver, I have won plenty of races with him... but this time he won... he had the Auto, I had the 5spd... He weighs 140lbs... I weighted 220lbs Now I weigh 200... I have been trying to lose weight since I bought the car... And It's actually working!

Good plan. Colin Chapman (founder of Lotus) said "Adding power makes you faster on the straights. Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere."
