It's a 2005 6s.

LOL, believe it or not, they are 18s. They do look awfully small in that picture. At the time, I only knew of 1 person who went 19s and he definitely did some work to have them installed. Maybe it's different in the new models. I don't know. I wasn't prepared to do it. So 18s it is.

The wheel gap is annoying but I can't do anything about it. I have to go over 3-6 speed bumps to get home. Not to mention all the ridiculously sized pot holes on the way (I literally just replaced some tires because of them). And the bumps are pretty high. I get pretty darn close to hitting my front bumper even now. If I go any lower, I'm going to have some problems. Believe me, if it wasn't for the speed bumps this thing would be scraping the ground

Don't even get me started with the damn potholes and speed bumps scattered across Long Island.. .My daily commute takes me 20 miles on the LIE, then an additional 3 miles on side roads that are god awful...

And with the 09 6's, the "S" GT Model has standard 18's with room to spare.

Now, they just need to get out and clean all the sand off the road.. Otherwise, I'm going to be getting a clear bra (3M Ultra) to protect the paint.. Already have one small 2mm chip on the rim of my hood.

This is worth getting no matter what vehicle you have. Just like a spray in bed liner is good for trucks.

Lanfear · 02-13-2009, 08:40 PM

My commute to work is about the same, little more. Unbelievable how much crap is on the roads, especially near my office. I feel like I'm driving off-road when I pull into the parking lot.

Thanks for the info about the new 6s. Didn't know that. Lucky them.

Just purchased my first new car earlier today! Happy Valentines Day to me.

'08 Chevy Cobalt SS Turbocharged. Technically was label "used" cause it had 205 miles on it, but it was never owned by anyone before. Just test drives and sales guys driving it I guess. lol

ZackL · 02-15-2009, 01:22 AM

Nissan Skyline GTR-32 with a swapped RB26DETT from a R34 model Skyline, modification list a mile long pulling 465RWHP last dyno. Had lots of problems with the higher HP and had to do forged internals since and haven't run a dyno, but we suspect it has broken 550 with the new bigger single turbo amongst othet stuff.

I have posted pics before so if you wanna see them you'll have to search my posts because I am far too lazy to dig em up.

Nice. Hope you still got the warranty on it since it said used. Because 200 miles is nothing.
