Went to check out those rims...

Other than being painted white, the rims were in good shape.
The DRs on the back have about half tread left, it turned out he had 7 Iroc rims all together with 4 good tires, so I decided to buy them.

Sunday we headed to edmonton, the friend I was with heard about a syclone in Edmonton that is veeery fast. so he phoned him up and we took a look at it. Later he gave us a ride in it, with his street tune it runs 12's flat on 14psi, so it didn't pull any insane speeds, but when he launched... holy crap! with AWD it can cut 1.53 60's! It still leaves 4 2foot long patches of rubber on the ground. with 275/50/17 DRs on the front and 315/50/17's on the back!
It has a turbo 4.3 V6 and runs 27psi boost at the track

Naturally, my friend who also owns a syclone is very excited about working on his once it's in town!

I'm now going to bolt on my DRs and try em out!
