it was bogus, i was sitting at the offramp for one minute waiting for the guy in front of me to make his left turn across traffic...then a cop rolls up behind me...i make my left hand turn...then he lights me up and pulls me over.

he tells me that he pulled me over for the "speed i was going back there"(on the freeway)....i was trying to get to school on time so i didn't argue, and i knew that the cop was a rookie and in GHOST TRAINING, so i went along with it to get to school on time....i ended up not going to school at all b/c he took SOOOO long to fill out my ticket...and there is a No Tardy Tolerance Policy for Saturday class. I should have asked for proof of my speed :-/ or maybe pushed for some leeway.

i can, and will, fight this in court...and i'll win!!

i need to get different rims that don't make my car stand out so much...b/c ORANGE rims is a NO NO. I was thinking about the BOSS 318 in Black Chrome. Is there anybody that sells the rims for a good price online?

the cheapest i've seen online is $215 per rim...that's $860 for a set.

i need ideas on how to go about putting things together for my case!!what tools can i use against the officer in court??

As for the ticket, oh boy, you're on your own. Don't know how many times I've been pulled over, being profiled by all these cops! Just cuz my car is different than the majority of cars you see out there, and just cuz mine has a lil character doesn't mean I'm doing something wrong or selling drugs, etc. Get off our backs, PO PO!

And please, please don't tell me you have orange rims on your car!!! I hope you were kidding!!!

You could just paint your stocks if you're pressed for $$$. Here's a link to my cardomain page showing you how to do it. I also did a how-to on nico if you wish to search for it here as well.

If you don't wanna paint your stockers, check out victoriatire.com, discounttiredirect.com. Both good sites for getting cheap(er) rims.

i don't have stock rims...i sold them to a guy who has the previous generation Maxima.

i could paint the ones i have now black...but i i've been having brake shimmy problems, and i believe that the brake problems are directly related to the rims b/c they are WIDE rims...and cheaper rims. It seems as tho they are somewhat out of round.

i like the BOSS or FOOSE rims...but need something $800-$900!

cheep wheels that are out of round, jeese man sounds bad. take them to a shop and see what they say, and san diego rookies are a pain in the arse, as for the ticket if it is your first one the judge might give you a slap on the wrist, or so thats what im hoping because i just got my first speeding ticket today for going 62 in a 45, on lemon grove /imperial highway. waiting for me at the end with a speedo gun, damn almost home 2 blocks away. he showed me the speed so there was no way of gettin out of that one. oh well

and good luck.

Oh man that sucks. i got some of those last year. but i didnt fight em. just see how much it cost then because if its like around a 100 bucks then just pay for it. cause what if you lose the case then its gunna stay on your record..As for the rims i think those rims are good ones. try in the classifieds or something like that.

Good luck with the cops!
