darn those wheels are nice, Im gonna get em. I'd recommend a chrome wheel with a deep dish "lip" of some kind, since you have the Razzi kit. I think that would look better than a flush design, whereas a flat-surface wheel looks great without the body kit. |

Scott I appreciate the opinions, but Im having a heck of a time finding a nice looking wheel to suit the car. I wont be getting any for a few months as it is, but I need to start looking early.
Do you have any pics that are 18" or more (and that fit heh), that you think would look great? Those BSA ones are the only ones that came up with so far. Ugh. Dont need to kill this thread anyway.

Well, yeah but not in rain or snow. Put 850 miles on it last month. One month was 1700 miles. No more of that...I drive it 5 days a week, it sits all weekend, then to school again etc. I let it sit for 2 weeks over xmas break, then for 2 weeks in january drove my moms car all the time. She got pissed that I put 1200 miles on in 2 weeks so she wont let me drive it to school that much anymore. I'm never gonna lease cars, hate worrying about mileage and other bs like that. Plus you end up spending 20+ grand and have nothing to show for it. I actually forgot what the engine sounded like that whole time and since I hadnt dug into the pedal for a while, 4500rpm sounded really satisfying The V8 in the Saab keeps me in check so I dont have to gun my car. What's really bad is that I keep skipping lunch every day at school cause our cafeteria sucks, and I cant get up early enough to put anything away. I can grab a snack bar or something but you know how those are  . To go out to lunch (we are allowed with paretn permission) its 10 miles extra to the clock every day. I refuse to do that, at the cost of me feeling hungry and wanting to barf. I need a low mileage car heh. |

lol, i had 3 orthodontist appointments a week, you didn't need notes with those, doctors and dentists you did. they almost caught on once, "I didn't think the Orthidontist was open at 7:30 in the morning" - office lady "yep, they are" - me (arriving at school at a little after 8 ) |

I guess I was bad or teachers just didn't care. We'd just leave at lunch and go to the beach. It's funny too because there was a sercuity guard, OJ was his nickname old black guy, we'd just wave and he wave back.
Steven, the Saab looks pretty good. Wish mine held out longer then springing for the Envoy.
I've had an equally hard time with finding rims too. Supa's look very good. For lipped ones, what about the ones on the tan razzi Aurora?

Wow, have to rub that part about living south in some more. You got to go to the beach...lmao.  lucky. Oh and the Saab...man, if only I'd have known about the SRT-8 Cherokee. That was the same price as this thing, although doesnt have hardly any luxury features that this beast has. But 420HP! Who needs heated seats and all that stuff when you got massive power like that. btw LOL...I asked them about that. They said it was a special car prepared for Olds and they took it back right after razzi installed the kit and they never even got to see it again. I wish I could find that out, cause those I would get. I bet they are expensive, but hey, gotta get good rims if your gonna go aftermarket. |

I put a lot more miles on in high school than I do in college. I put usually 30k-35k on per year when i was in high school. In college i only put about 25k per year.

wow! I agree...you people must drive all day long to rack up that mileage! I think the most I've driven in a year is 9k....thats including a yearly drive to Myrtle Beach, SC from here in Mass, which is a 2500 mile round trip.

30K! What car did you have then Joe? That is so many miles man...LOL. I would get a beater for that kinda of stuff. Or at least a new Civic for 14k and drive it til it quits.
I've driven 22k combined most in a year. 7500 miles for my car then about 12k on the exploder. Put 2500 mies on my dads car too cause he wasnt driving it enough. Looking at old oil change receipts I didnt realize that thing only had 17k on it in May and when it was turned back it was almost 31 lol.
Joe, what car did you have then?? Not the rora was it? Did you drive around in circles

I put 20k on mine over a summer working as a parts runner for Sunbelt Marine. Best job over. Lots of hours in a Aurora. What more could you ask.  |

I was going to, get one at sunrise on Daytona Beach, but not with the 500 going on. But to say Daytona gets really crazy is an understatement. Maybe next weekend.

I bet we put 75-100 hours on our boat in a good summer. Last season not so much since I had it for the summer while mom and dad were moving. Its really too bad, a college kid having to deal with his parent's boat for the summer all to himself. Such is life I guess |

This is my '99. I am the second owner. It was driven gently but wasn't always fed premium fuel. She gets nothing but 91 octane now:)  |
