haha, aint it true. too bad they werent all mine. all i have owned is steelies, a set of chrome rims i took off before i lowered (and only have one pic of em) and then my current rims.
both the vx rims, and the enkeis i have had on were amis.

Man, if you already have a funked up clutch why are you even beating on your car? 60hp burnouts have to get old fast don't they?

and no 60hp burnouts do not get old because you really can only do them when it rains and it doesnt rain everyday....so i actaully prefer the rain over sunny days when i drive my car now...
