I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

What tires are you putting on them?

You should snap in some 13" spinners from WalMart. :tards:

All the bitches would love the blang with the spinnas.

I think they weigh 11 or 13 pounds, but the acceleration between corners will improve just due to the shorter tire. I should be redlining second about 7-10 mph sooner than with the Rotas.
