Today me B2FiNiTY, EA Boostin DC2 and TypeR 599 had a little meet at an In and out in Irvine to do some major wheel swappage. Type R 599 broke a wheel stud, I broke 2 of my wheel locks, and we both came up on some awesome wheels. The photo album is here with all of the pictures:

Are you standing on your wrench trying to get your lug nut off?

LOL!

 

This is Type R 599, Alex.



Me, and I have the USDM front ended car.

And the GSR in the middle was EAD Boostin DC2, not pictured.

And here's B2FiNiTY, Dennis, trying to steal my lugnuts.



Reid - No, I didn't use my weight to take off the lug, that's the ghetto way of torquing 105 ft-lbs of torque on the stud. Stupid idea, but it works for me

You do realize you're supposed to torque them to 80 ln/ft right?

Alex does have a broken wheel stud if you need more convincing that proper torque specs would help.

 

lol I was implying that I weighed very little. Anyway yeah I knew you would come up with the technical stuff, but hey... oh well

 

My friend with a S2000 torques his wheels on by stepping on the wrench.

He's an exact 80 lbs.

 

Wait, now that I think of it, Yes I actually did do that to remove the lugnuts

 

you weigh 105??

how tall are you?

 

nice wheels...i'm home now after a nice 6 hour drive

 

...soaking wet, with his pockets full of rocks

 

You guys should have called me!!! i was in irvine!!

 

It was too early for anyone to be up.

 

damn, weather looks soooo nice out there

 

Getting very warm here

 

The wheels look VERY nice!!!!
Greg - who also would have been there had he known

 

great pics man! i'll get mine up tonight

well i didn't have a tq wrench and i didn't want it to come flying off. so over tightening was my only choice . i'll fix it monday

greg, it was prolly too early for you anyways.. 9am!
you didn't miss much either, except the 80degree weather

 

I would love to have the JDM Gun metal wheels.

 

I can't believe that j00 guys were at INO in Irvine and none of j00 called me, shame on all of j00!

Chris, who also would have been there.
