Why thank you kind sir! I try to keep them modded up but understated at the same time.

Its perfectly fine running 255x30x20 and 305x25x20.... Michelin PSS makes amazing high performance safe tires and in this size(s).
yeah i know its ok to use the smaller aspect ratio, i just wish we didnt have to, because i would like to keep as much tire sidewall as there is now to keep the comfort of the ride....we all know that your able to take the bumps and tighter, lower suspension and tire/wheel combos ....but for me, 1. lowering, 2. larger wheels .3. less tire sidewall are three factors that will all make the ride rougher....if i can eliminate one or two that would help clear the path towards a new set

been thinking about getting the klassens in 19s for now and see how that goes.....

anyone have a cls or E on 19s lowered?

I wouldn't worry about it since you live in OC the streets way better than LA
19s 1-piece wheel would look good too on your car if you want to keep the ride comfort
If I were you I would get the HRE FF wheels

All joking aside, I think gloss bronze or even a red finish could look good on your car.

Keep pushing Hype. It's just a matter of time before he snaps. Think Steve Buscemi in Billy Madison and I don't think you're the one he crosses off his list.

Steve Buscemi - YouTube
I'm sure you are the pride of all mods here eh Rock?
what does it convey to other members and new members when MODs
continue to harass and bother other members? over virtually nothing....
you're setting a great example mr mod, you truly are one of a kind
I tried to add you to my vacant ignore list but what do you know?
can't ignore moderators!!! go figure!! guess you're safe in under you little blue mod blanket eh??

and thanx again for Pm'ing me to tell me you're 'just kidding around'
that makes it all better huh?
you are over 30 at least right??

on another note: Steve Buscemi is great! His career has come such a long way, and he finally got his lead role in Boardwalk Empire, which is a great series

sorry to keep mucking up your thread Pertplus

Rock is a good guy; his humor is not understood by all but I think its a thankless task to be a mod yet also try to be a member at the same time. The tightrope is a little higher and the rope is thin.

At least he sent you PM .... he hasnt violated any of the TOU as a mod or member. You poke others and vendors quite often as well as pay compliments; why cant he?

Hype, I really think you are being overly sensitive here but if I'm out of line I'm willing to retract my posts, admit my poor judgment and remove myself from the moderating staff. Report me to administrators and moderators for review. They will look at things objectively and take corrective action if needed.

There is no one on this forum that I dislike (except Vic) and I'm certainly not targeting you. I guess my humor does not translate well in written form so I'll have to work on that problem.

Balderdash I say!!! Your humor translates perfectly, at least for my tastes. Vic and I were just talking about that as we were watching reruns of Gossip Girl this past weekend!
