Got my bonus earlier this month. And, the Boxster is now paid off

It's good to be without a car payment

So I guess I can start putting money into upgrades now, keep eyeing the 19" wheels as well.

National Bonus Week?

I found out today what Monday's bonus will be. Wasted no time in ordering some Carrera S chrome 18's when I got home from work. Probably going with some BFG KDWs. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

Anyone know a good deal is on chrome caps with a painted crest? The chrome ones at Wheel Dynamics have a black crest. Got a request in to Sunset on a price quote. Think a painted crest would look killer. Feel free to PM me so I don't hijack this thread.

Isn't capitalism great?

UnkleKraker, you can get some very nice colored factory center caps from Sunset for about $135 a set. There are two types... mine have no ring around them, and no holes and are made out of metal, not plastic. They are painted to match the rims too.

No pull holes = much harder to steal.

I bought a set of center caps the day I bought my carrera lights from the same place you bought them. The other posters are right... the ones that come with the rims suck! But they aren't stickers. They're screen printed and scratch off quite easily.

As far as tires go, he was selling them with Hancock or whatever tire and I just called after the auction closed and said "how much to upgrade to PS2's?

$2300 shipped to me with PS2's.

Thanks Randall for the tip. I didnt know that there are 2 types of center caps. So when I order it thru Sunset, should I mention about "no pull holes"?

I was going to upgrade for a better tire but gotta save some for wifeys set Gucci bag (she's been wanting to get those for years now) and to replace her beat up Gucci key chain...I just want to make sure that she's happy before I pull the trigger for next years GT3 kit
