Why do all the DC guys run 19's?:)

Some how a few of us all ended up in the same place. Here are a couple cell phone shots (1) it was raining 2) if I would have known I would have brought the real camera).











and the hands down crowd favorite (the cell phone camera really doesn't do it justice!)

I always ran 19's on my W211 because I wanted to have a compromise between looks and comfort. However, I run 20s on my SL600....because....well... it looks so bad ***. Damn the comfort!


**Cough Cough** How's the tune feel? **Cough Cough**

You shouldn't worry - we're prima donnas; once we stop outsourcing our labor and start fabbing our own stuff, then I think you guys should start worrying (my good man Ahmad is the obvious exception to this ).

I'm down but I think the only way we're getting Charlie on this side of the bridge is if it involves adding more HP or racing
