Thanks for the heads up Ken! Just PM'd him but I don't think it will be in budget. If I could get them in budget, I'd save up to powdercoat blue.

I also just contacted ModBargains for a quote on some F14s again.

I would have already snatched those wheels up if he would separate the tires... and if I had $2K burning a hole in pocket

the yok's arent bad, actually. they're marginally better than the RE050A's and getter grip in cooler temps. the biggest benefit is they are light weight (like conti dw's) and looks great.

since they are 10.5 on the rear, 285/35/19 looks great. im running 275/35/19 on my 10.5" WEDS and the sidewall has stretch. still looks good, but 285/35 will look better.

but man, that thing looks like a science experiment?

would go well with my old crt imac though.

mr.happy- you're doing fine!

if one knows anything about audio, having nice speakers is only about 1/3 of the equation. the rest is room modes...meaning, the listening environment has to be controlled, then caliberated..and the audio source. and klipsh imho sounds like crap. honestly speaking, having a good set of headphones is much better if going on a budget.

in my music room, i use near field monitors by yamaha, placed on monitor stands with acoustic isolators, room with baffles to control reflection, 31band per channel EQ and noise generators to calibrate the monitors to the room. overall cost is cheap... like $2K tops with everything included.

it has sound that translates well to other sound systems including headphones and computer speakers. basically what you hear is what you get.

then you have times where i just want to watch youtube or hear mp3's in the background. i dont run my monitors for that. i just use a small USB computer speaker that hangs on the LCD of my MBP

. (sounds good for wat it is).

Amazon.com: Logitech USB Laptop Speaker Z305: Electronics

not sure why they list for $119...cause i only paid $45 at target.

the reason why i want the 2.1 is i dont have much room left in my music room as i ready have 2 completely independent systems running in there. one for playing/screwing around, one for composition. i want the cheapo 2.1 to use for practice. ive been using my headphones but my wife says there are many times i dont hear her and the kids when they are calling me.

hahahaha...

Mr.kenchan

The Harman Kardon has a different design and quality than most of the others in that price range.

I was looking through the options last night and most of them are Logitech, Creative or Altec.... plastic casing micro speakers... For $150...

Came across the Harman Kardon and looked up couple reviews and they score average of 4 to 4.5 out of 5 in most customers' reviews.

Then I rather spend $150 for a set like that than a set of those plastics...

Have fun hunting...

Honestly, I think the RE050's are expensive garbage

I went to Nitto Invo rears in 285/30/19 after my wife got less than 10K miles on the stockers doing primarily highway driving

In comparison, I drive the Invos much harder and got more than twice the mileage. Plus, they perform equally or better in dry weather, and they perform phenomenally better in wet weather. Got 30K out of the RE050 fronts, so that's not bad. I just replaced all four last month with new Invos and went up to 255 width in the fronts to match the size up in the rears I had already done.

2600$ is a great price for wheels and tires...

(make sure to go 19's not to regret later)
