I need to make a decision soon and you are not helping with your expensive taste in wheels. :p :icon17:

I sent out for a quote, we will see. I actually dig the Work wheels a lot and they come in black.
Forgestar cf5v isnt too bad either and comes in a plethora of colors.

I about ran over a small smart car with the truck the other day. I used my mirrors, shoulder checked and then started to go and I heard a tiny little horn blaring :icon17: I felt bad but that thing must have been riding in my blindspot for a while as I never saw it and I check my mirrors frequently.

kenchan 07-06-2016 06:41 PM

They are not terrible if I remember correctly. I want to say they are heavier than factory though.

i c... the RE11's are pretty heavy so something to think about.. going light on the wheels.

So I am shopping around Amazon because Prime day ahs a special for Amazon Visa card holders. $30 off any prime purchase of $150. So I planned to buy a low-pro jack. But I found these things. I may order a pair and see if they'd allow enough room to allow my normal jack in the front and sides.

That is a plus for forgestar as you can get them in about any color you can think of included in the price. :tup::driving:

Save $40, a couple of 2x12's and you can have your own set.

You are correct. I can't get my regular jack under the front or sides. This past oil change was a nightmare. I jacked from the diff in the rear. Got 1 stand under the rear side panel. Then lowered the car and jacked the other rear side panel. That gave me enough room to jack the front side panels while slowly sliding the stands since I only own 2.

So my original plan was to buy that pittsburg low pro steel jack. But now I am curious if I can spend half as much for some mini ramps allowing me to fit my standard hydraulic jack under the sides and front.

hummmmm... scissors jack cant fit under there either just to raise it enough to get ur hydraulic under there?

im thinking if ure going to get them halfarsed ramps, why not just get a couple of wood planks for cheap, and get some raceramps and extensions?

It really has turned into a Touring car. I might pick up a square set of track wheels in the near future. Now that my warranty has ran it course I don't mind going to the track once in a while. There is one not far from the house. :tup:

Scissor does fit, but I've heard they wear out very quick after just light use. Didn't want to break mine.

I was thinking of just getting the race ramps and extensions. I just saw those mini ones and got intrigued.

Get your 2x12s in the cart and mark them with the correct lengths. look for this beast in the store:

Walk up to it like you own the damn thing and cut the boards to length. :tup:

im not sure how often u plan to use it, but ive used scissors jacks quite often when i did sus mods (just for assisting my hydraulic) and never broke one.

but i can see u want to save da one u have for emergencies. valid reason.

yah, the raceramps are DEFINITELY nice. light weight too.
