  1. gravity casting is gravity casting. some MFG's use more caution and regulated temperatures which might give them a slight advantage. It's not the spokes that I personally worry about, it's the wheel barrel that i worry about. All these gravity cast wheels are made in one of the six large castign foundry's overseas... so chances are the branding and the pricetag is what separates.... the construction is almost transferrable (for wheels that all come from china markets)
  2. bag is in great shape, no rips, no tears, has been played for 7 rounds. I got a stellar deal on a cleveland bag... Thats the only reason why im selling this one. lets make a deal
  3. Gravity cast wheels will have less strength & integrity because there will be airholes and the aluminum will be less densly packed since the fill process requires only the earths gravity. Which also gives them a better chance of splitting/cracking....because the metal is more porous have you ever seen a gravity cast wheel give out or fail... its not pretty and deffinately not safe. http://www.clean-image.co.uk/assets/twisted-wheel.jpg This is also not an exxageration, i've seen this happen on 2 personal local occasions. aother example: http://wheelblogg.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/brokenadrwheel.jpg http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/8463/rotaposterkq9.jpg http://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/23.jpg
  4. HAHA When are you coming down, Bring your guys, i am a 4 dollar cab ride from a great bar scene. I missed HIN, when was it?
  5. it is in right now!!! Gettign closer and closer
  6. Ramsey, i have nothing against you. I'm sorry that you became offended when i stated what i did.
  7. Because either a modular OR monoblock wheel will run you 5-900 dollars a piece. In no way was i projecting that they were the same thing, i was stating that both were in that price category.
  8. My wheels (depending on which set... but let us generalize) ..Heavier than most wheels.... lighter than most wheels in a similar size, stronger than almost any wheel that has not combined a spun barrel with a forged wheel center. thank you for noting this FACT!!!
  9. Monoblock = 1 piece Modular = more than 1 piece You = Fucking retarded You = Lose (this battle) You = Tried to call me out and got "got"
  10. WAIT WAIT WAIT, there is one cool murdered out car in existence.... sorry! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d194/jboileau81/batmobile.jpg
  11. Are you refering to when i had my Gramlight 57pros? You know, the ones with the spun aluminum barrels and the pressure cast centers? the ones that weigh 22 lbs. for an 18.9?... right.... Or maybe you might even be attempting to "sink your teeth" into the wheels that i am currently running. you know, those 18x10 (and 18x9) Profounds, you know: the 3 piece wheels with the forged center and spun aluminum barrels, the ones that won't let you down like a cast barrel 1 piece "dumpster spec" wheel would.... Then, given your attempt at slandering what you apparently know nothing about, i would challenge your actual knowledge abotu wheel construction and integrity. So go ahead, hit the google button...search & research what you can, memorize/copy&paste/fake like you actually know what you are talking about and get back to me... And all the while you come across as the tough guy with a brave opinion... mainly because i made fun of something that you bought into (black oem wheels), and now you're mad because you got caught in the crossfire... fucking hilarious
  12. IMO, the SQ is alllllll propoghanda.... its loud, its yellow... its like a coach bag...
  13. i love threads like this!!!!
  14. so does everyone else... hence why they are doing it too... Ok, enough, your car does look cool, the black on black look is Fine... as long as the wheels aren't stock. The "stock wheels murdered out" look is gay as fuck. Your mustang might ALMOST be the exception....almost

    Like i said, my father gets tips, is "on the level" with news etc.... take it for what its' worth... don't blame me if you lose... the last time my father had this sort of tip i made 31% in 3 weeks... I'm gonna buy YUM. I heard this guy, and I DID hear about the good words for YUM and DRI, etc, but I didn't hear any negatives about bwld or others. But YUM is Col. Sanders, and Taco Bell, etc, and this guy said CHINA is going to drag YUM right thru the roof. I will be watching Friday at 8am, and you should, too, Barry, cuz there are about 5 BIG announcements tomorrow, and the indicated that 5 pieces of good news could drive the market to another day like today.
  18. a fun weekend of racing!!! I will be there the whole weekend, i am taking off work friday and spending the night out/up there. My dad is coming in on Sunday to join the festivities. here are details. http://www.midohio.com/pdf/ALMS%20IndyCar%20Schedule.pdf prices are on mid-ohio website. Its like 60.00 for the whole weekend or somethign close. LE Mans, GT3, love get at me!!

    ALSO, so that i am not so "one-sided".. through proof of my father.... i think that you can make more money through owning something tangible.... like a business, or a franchise Like i said... i know people that are complete entreprenuers creating 50-100 million dollar entities from scratch... but i don't need to be that guy.. You need to ask yourself a question... would i rather be rich or famous... I say rich, i don't need recognition, i don't want to be the guy that has a hundred million dollars because he had a break through idea.... i just need the hundred million dollars...

    Your point about 9/11 is undeniable. My father lost 60% of the money that he had.. but it was completely unpredictable... you can't base that on "decision making".. that's a one-in-a-million shot. Another good point you made. You cannot rely SOLELY on stocks... but at our age... you have to pick n' choose where you invest... as money doesnt grow on trees (yet)... Even my father has sought alternate routes of investing (besides, retirement, MF's, and stocks)... It's actually a great time to own a business, public spending is on the rise... he is a first time business owner as of age 61... as he has also just retired... the man will never stop working (or golfing) lol
