The similarities would be even more striking if Rodi's model was turned around.

He FINALLY apologized for that debacle he pulled last year......both him and Wade can kiss my ass....one of them should have come to Chicago...instead we got Carlos Snoozer (even if he did play well today...i don't really like him on my team)

What's the point? it's a tad bit late... almost an entire season for him to come to that realization?

To be honest it really wasn't the fact that he left...it was HOW the douchebag left everyone from the fans to the friggin' OWNER in the dark about it....and then had the AUDACITY to make his decision an HOUR LONG T.V. special all about him....seriously? seriously? It was a slap in the face to ANY fan in ANY sport....whew...sorry...I still feel strongly about that incident...pfffft...friggin' entitled bastard...hope my Bulls beat they asses

Curious about the square setup...wouldn't stagger been better for AutoX, i.e. help with turn in and such?

You guys are getting stuff I want!!!
Square improves turn-in and car rotation. You can aso rotate the tires for longer life. Staggared is probably best for street and track set ups.

You need to spend a little less on cameras and then you could join me and Mr. Badger. These are a great wheels. You can do staggarded or square.

Umm...square does not have better turn-in than staggered....on the contrary....you will hold you line better in a curve and on acceleration out of the curve...but turn in will be harder, especially when coupled with an LSD...
Anyway I have the money....I don't have these wheels yet because I have to wait until I take leave from Iraq....i don't want the wheels sitting in a relatives living room

staggered setup, 245s on front and 265s on rear, debating going to 275 year, but i think that might be excessive on this car.

I bought these wheels for my sapphire black 135 (or whatever the black was called) they have been carried over to my white 135. you can feel the weight savings just in the feel of the clutch and how smoothly you can drive it.

These are anthracite not black.
