Don't get me wrong though, I'm not complaining, just theorizing and throwing ideas out, its in my nature since I'm a scientist. I'm still going to the meets regardless and am still willing to expel a 1/4 tank of gas to get there and back, and I still look forward to the meets and hanging out. I dunno, been thinking of a good place but its pretty hard to find somewhere where we wouldn't be really visible and get harassed allot.

Lugnuts are easy. $35 a set, I'll give you a set of generic splinedrives I've got and you can order replacements whenever.

Handling will be better, you've got less sidewall, so less flex, and way more grip, especially with the SO3's on that setup. Wider, way stickier........no bad points, except your ride will be a little rougher.

FYI: Parking garages suck for meets. Way back when we tried a few at the Arden Mall lot. Security kicked us out everytime. Every other parking garage (read: private property) is going to be the same way.

We settled on Natomas because it was central for Elk Grove, Roseville, and Davis peoples. We thought it was the most fair option for all. I don't like driving the 30 minutes each way, but I'll make the sacrifice.

Right now, where the meets are at, local PD knows about and knows we're cool. If we move, it could become an ordeal if the local PD there thinks we're up to something.

We have yet to get pizza as a mob for all the meets i've been to. If you want different food we could always grab a few folks willing to grab food else where then meet the mob back at the scene.

How much is gas mileage affected with 18's or heavy wheels? I'm currently getting 19 MPG around town.
