It fills out the wheelwells a little better than the stock 18x8.5 and allows me more options to go a little bigger with the tires. I replaced the stock Dunlops with Bridgestones which are a little wider as well (even though they are the 'same' size. People have stuffed 285s on these cars with just rolling the fenders and changing to coilovers! Mileage isn't the greatest- averaging about 18-19mpg, but typically my commute is up and down hills and mileage isn't great anyway. Also the engine isn't really broken in yet- just had my 4000mile oil change a few weeks ago. Even with summer tires and the car rack, the car is great! I can pack stuff in the back and drive the thing every days without needing a massage every evening, and while it's not a lexus it's reasonably quiet, almost too quiet. I do wish we had the Recaro seats though- I'd like to be a bit more snug in them. tom

Late last night I was in the lab trying (without too much success, I might add) to develop a process, and needed a mental break. For the first time in about two years I visited the crew page and did a little reading. I tried to log in, but couldn't remember the password. You might have felt the disturbance in the force around the time of the chat, as I yanked on the locked doors repeatedly, trying to break in. Anyhow, there were a lot of strange things going on in my life two years ago, and I needed to quit the internet cold turkey for a while. Fun things can become addictive, and I needed to focus on what was important. All is good - family, job, house, etc., so it was the right choice. Anyhow, I'd like to stop in from time to time. Low key involvement. I still have (and enjoy) my '02 OBW, now with 70k on the clock. Still looks and smells like new. People cannot believe that it dates to Sept '01. Steve |
