I'd love to know the ride height, and what you did to make it handle decently down there. Or is it my imagination, and the wheel size is what makes it look lower? Either way...looks nice. Hopefully when I repair my front bumper this winter (igg...body work..and from the PO damage nonetheless!) mine will be able to look that good.

The reason your pics won't appear is because they're too big. If you try to upload a file that's too big, it'll just NOT WORK. 150kb is the limit for JPEGS.

Look about halfway down the right side of this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...powertoys.mspx

Download IMAGE RESIZER.exe. It'll put an icon on your desktop. Install the icon. After installed, you can delete the icon. Now go to any photo-type file and RIGHT CLICK. A new selection will be RESIZE IMAGES. It doesn't simply resize the current image, it creates a new photo right next to it about 90% smaller leaving the original untouched. You can resize as more than one at a time. Resolution suffers very little on a standard monitor. I use it more often than any other program on my computer.

I can tell by the resolution on those pics that they're just to big. My Sony 3.2mp camera makes 1.2mb files on max setting. On MEDIUM, the resizer makes all the pics you see in my vbGarage about 100kb... perfect for uploading!

DAMN!!! I missed going over 300posts. I always like to remember milestones.

I gotta say those wheels are perfect for a black and tan. Sweet. That last pic is badass.

The miata that I just picked up is a black and tan also, but it is lowered which I would love to change. Love the car man, I am practically foaming at the mouth to get the turbo up and going, and driving the miata instead of driving my camaro. That thing gets terrible gas mileage, but hey, what do you expect for 465hp to the wheels.
