Hey racer. Yea, I was thinking exactly the same thing about the wheels. Yes, I still have both sets and when/if I do sell the car, I do plan to put back on the original wheels. Since there isn't any major repairs done on this since this is a low mileage vehicle, there was mainly the aesthetics. My buddy and I who's in the auto detailing business in southeastern MI had done a 24 hour detailing job on my car. That's why the paint looks virtually like it is brand new. I like to keep my cars that way for as long as possible. I spend my free time washing and adding a layer of wax when it needs it. Fluid flushes have also been done although the fluids in the car still look pretty fresh to me when it came out. It was done nevertheless.
I am still researching on what to get as my daily driver. Yes, I would like it to be as much fun to drive as well as less work. Taking care of one car is already time consuming already not to mention that it hurts your wallet at the same time. I am actually leaning towards an Acura RSX Type-S. It's not too expensive, fun to drive, reliable, and will be decent in the snow since it's a FWD vehicle. Plus, there are a whole bunch of aftermarket goodies for it to keep me occupied
. Any other suggestions?
