....oh please continue the entertainment. I love listening to Mechanical Engineer's who only deal in theory and know nothing of real life experience! That thread was just getting good...

IBTL cuz u know we don't believe in controversy on yarisworld.com

Yeah, it was just gettin' good.

Nothing like good old fashion debate. There was no profanity, no insults, just good debate.

Bummer....

1. I don't live in the Northeast - keep the wheels.

2. I want to track the car - keep the wheels.

3. I might run over a curb while looking at a girl - sell the wheels.

4. I am an engineer - could go either way.

I have to read the rest of the arguments from both sides.

The only thing you need to do is get some better tires. :)

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer them, I wont avoid them.

Nice wheels. Light wheels make for quicker steering, yes? And with 15s you have plenty of tire between the wheel and the rim making damage remote (save running into something).

Not sure about the rules. I guess Yarisworld is changing. Used to be you could argue all you wanted. I think the fellas are getting long in the tooth now.

thanks. quicker steering? the Yaris' steering is lighter then my wallet. :lol:

the 205/55/15 is a lot of side which I like, but nothing can replace being a responsible driver and trying to avoid known shitty streets and or potholes.

:D

Something about nipping something in the something to avoid something at sometime in the future.

Actually....2 of them snapped in half and crumbled to dust as I pulled it into the garage.

ddongbap · 12-20-2008, 06:03 AM

So what was your question?

Chupacabra · 12-20-2008, 09:19 AM

Yes...that is my e30 M3. There was no question really....just hoped to revive a thread that got locked for no reason and was pure entertainment. Please see the first thread if you are confused.

I've met millionaires who are more humble than a middle aged guy with a mechanical engineering diploma.
