Epoxy floors ftw. Unless it's that Home Depot crap. That looks professional though.

Yeah it's to make weak cars with not enough power to make normal tires spin actually be able to break loose. Why not get something with power to spin regular tires and not look like you were too broke to get the right tires for the wheels you bought.

Jealous much?

I've been driving the G, the Cube, and one of the classics... Oh, and putting an RB in the S30.

Ugh... why did I move back to WA.

We're about to hit the eternal emo weather season.

There's nothing wrong with the epoxy from home depot, the one in Greg's garage just looks shinier, but most garage's aren't for beauty contest anyways.

I did the DIY epoxy in our old house's garage... It was nice, but didn't hold up a well as I'd have liked.

I had this one done professionally, and it wasn't too terribly pricey - About 2.5x what you'd pay for the DIY job.

It's a lot thicker, with a couple coats of clear epoxy over the color and chips.

That looks HAWTT!!

I absolutely hate stretched tires, that's how a wheel should look like.

But...it still doesn't beat the bulge of a 205 on a 6.5" rim '
