Thanks! But yeah I actually installed them, the offset won't allow for stickies on the inside. And I really didn't want a static balance on these, but if it throws these weights, I might just have to do that. But thank you, I'm in love with this combo.

I must say, this is not something I would own... but it's well executed and I can appreciate your style... nice rig!
Contrast of the interesting color with off road gear is neat.
Plus cool pic with the mural!

With a couple cars at my university after installing my FJ Trail wheels over the weekend. Hopefully I can get some better shots later in the week, maybe with a few more friends.

Jesus Christ what college do you go to where people can afford a hellcat and a very nice Audi? Not to mention a nice T4R too! I'm so used to sh** civics and corrolas and the occasional pickemup truck that's got some huntin stickers on it.
Edit: I read your bio. Still can't believe some kid/faculty has a hellcat.

Haha the colleges in my area have a bunch of kids driving mazeratis, bentleys, and even Roles Royce! It's amazing to see kids that are like... 19 driving cars CEO's drive... But then again I'm in Orange County. Where you need to be loaded to have a decent life.

Maybe if a sell my 3 vehicles and empty my bank account I could make the down payment on some of those cars..... I mean jeez. I can't believe parents buy expensive cars for their kids. The only vehicle that was bought for me was my jeep and man was that thing a pos that didn't run and had lots of rust, Bought for my 16th bday my dad bought me a project!

Haha agreed. And these nice cars are THRASHED. Cigarette butts and ash everywhere and the inside is filthy! My first car was a 1988 Toyota Camry. I paid $700 and I had to save for it lol

I go to ASU - some (most) students drive your average Camry, Altima, Mazda3, etc, but those that park in garages like myself typically own cars that are in the 50-400k range, or at least drive highly-modified vehicles (parking does cost $1000 a year for the garages, though, so you'd kind of expect that). Both of these actually belong to professors of mine; the one who owns the Hellcat got it through a former student who was the lead on the Hellcat project, so I'm sure he got a smoking deal. There are quite a few professors and students who drive superluxury or exotic cars like Bentley, RR, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, GT-R, etc, though it seems that this year the exotics have dwindled down to a handful in favor of mass AMG Mercedes.
Being a massive car enthusiast, it's pretty awesome to have a concentration of rare and exotic cars both at home and at school, as I really enjoy seeing and hearing them all the time and they make for great photo-ops (that I would actually take advantage of if it weren't for the damn heat and monsoon humidity).

To be fair, I have a ton of friends here who take meticulous care of their exotics, though they do drive them like they're supposed to be driven. It's probably a cultural difference in addition to the location, too - most of the guys I know with cars in line with Lamborghini, McLaren, etc are from the UAE, Qatar, China, or Singapore. I also see tons of kids from California with relatively nice cars like BMW 5 series that look like they've been through hell a few times. It's really a "I got this car because I love cars" vs. "I got this car because my parents want to flaunt their money" deal here - thankfully the majority of nice cars belong to the former category.

That's reassuring actually. I'm not a big fan of people who own fast/exotic cars and don't drive them. they just own them to look at them....ugh can't stand those people who are mostly old. People at my school think its wasteful to have 3 vehicles but I drive a different one each day and each one has a different role sort of.
BTW nice name! also can you get a pic of that hellcat's engine cuz it's like automotive porn

Yeah, most people in my area are unfortunately the second category. :/ it sucks to see these cars destroyed, but I'm glad there are people (kids) who take care of their cars, makes me happy haha

I can understand wanting a museum piece, but only if it's something so rare that its too dangerous to drive ala Ferrari 250 GTO (but then you could just build a replica to actually rip around in). I do get not daily driving exotics, though, as they're rather uncomfortable for anything but aggressive driving or an extremely short commute.
People also think I'm weird for owning souped up SUVs - until they take a ride in one. There's just something about being able to keep pace with a Mustang that you can also drive over...
I'll have to talk to my professor about getting some pics of the Hellcat in more detail - he's a pretty cool guy, though, and may even be down to shoot a video on it. I will definitely shoot some exterior pics the next time I have a chance to park next to it, though - may even have to bust out the DSLR at some point.

That would be awesome. When the twin cities auto show was in town they had both the hellcat charger and challenger on display and that was the first time I saw one of them in person so I asked the sales rep to pop the hood cuz I wanted to see the engine and he wouldn't do it and I asked why and got a bs excuse so I told him that I think that they were fake loud enough so that other people could hear it because even as a rep I would be proud to show off one of those vehicles. So disappointed in that dude. But then I saw a bunch at mopars in the park car show back in May and I was satisfied.

Sounds like you have some crappy reps in your neck of the woods. Once a year Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep comes to show off some of their vehicles on campus, and they let you check out whatever you want, start the cars up, etc, even with the more expensive ones like the Viper.
