I dont know what I was thinking!!! I new it was a good deal, i should have bid 700 and got them no prob......

We have a variety of tools to do the job, but I dont know if I can do it, so i dont want to make them look even worse!!!

I saw a car today with the cobra tires on them, they look pretty good........

The only thing I have left to make up my decision..... My leather sucks, and I want to get that done...... ideally, Id like to do both, but I only have enough money to do one....... Which would you go for...... New rims/tires, or new leather!!!???

Weight the price and which one you could live with. I'd probably go leather first because bad leather would irk the hell out of me. Just a suggestion. I just got a pair 18inch Kruz rims 245/40/18. Kruz makes strong simple designed rims, not too flashy if you want to stay normal. They have a rim calld Atlas which is a 5 star pattern with a twist and it come in 17. Try http://www.kruz.com. If that doesn't suit you there are a host of sites which have great prices out west. I cant lie, TIRE RACK had some nice forged rims that fit the Q nice. With our cars having a more sporty shape than say a Lexus LS, you need a sporty look to accentuate it. 17's would look fine. I'll post my new pics soon. What's up Hitman? You still punking guys in AZ!?

Wes,

How bad is your leather? Take pics and post them. I've heard nothing but good things about Leathique stuff. They have everything from crack filler to rejuvenator oil to a re-dye kit that they custom make for your car's interior.

P.S. I will be doing a lot of leather care using these guys in mid to late august when it cools down a bit. I will post a write-up and let everyone know how it goes.

This leather (just the front seat bottoms) are beyond leatheriquing.......

The drivers side has a cut about 6in long in a seam, its all cracked in other places...... The passenger side is so cracked im surprised it hasent flaked away........ The rest of it is fine, maybe a little hard (leatherique)...... Not to mention how discolored it is...... Its weird though how good the backs look (Brand New), and the bottoms look like theyve seen 300k miles and a really big arse (DEFINITELY not me)

I will be away for a few days (not from here, but from home.... GOD, a few days without nico...... :D ), so ill post pics then...... You can get an idea by going to http://elwesso.home.insightbb....5.htm

Cooper has recently come out with a UHP tire called the Zeon 2xs.

I've tested them and they're very, very, nice.

Highly recommended.
