So Anxious...
One more day to order them and be able to say "they're on the way!" I'm so freaking anxious to order my rims, I was tempted to order them now but I can't paypal the amount until Saturday so that's pointless. I've been waiting two years for rims, and finally they day has come.

they should look nice. I think they'll look better than most ZR1's for some reason, normally I dont like them, but I think they'll look good on your car. Thumbs up man. Also, how's that PC coming?

Thanks on the compliments, I'm really exceited and I really think the black Zr1s will look the best with the stripes and what not.
The PC was pretty much put on hold due to saving for rims and having the problems with the coolant leak and everything. Once the rims are on their way and I get the extra money that I need, then I should be able to work on it. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best possible outcome, all I should need is an adapter kit that allows me to use the laptop harddrive on a regular mobo and some memory. If, and this is a big if, I don't need to adjust for any drivers with the motherboard change and I don't have to reformat, it should be smooth sailing of just making sure everything's installed, buying a wireless USB NIC card, adding the rest of my mp3s, and then I should really be all set for installation. Installation should be quite easy, just need to figure out how to mount the screen to the bezel.. the motherboard is going to be mounted to the back of the screen so it'd be like a flat screen TV haha.

Ok... what should I do?
Zr1s with Hankook tires for 890 shipped and then take it somewhere to get balanced..
Zr1s for ~$550 shipped, plus Falken tires bought locally (brand new) for about $525 including balancing...
Zr1s with Sumitomo tires for $990 shipped and then take it somewhere to get balanced..
My dad thinks I should buy the tires locally so I can get a better deal on balancing and waranties and stuff, but I can't make up my mind. We're gonna look tomorrow at Discount Tire and see what kind of deal I can get.

well yeah that's the point: if I go with tirerack.com, I still have to pay the normal mounting and balancing prices that I'm trying to avoid by buying the tires seperately.
