i think you’re all a bunch of fucking clowns 
i think its safe to say that both of these guys, sirdriftalot and solarian had purpose built cars. sirdriftalot’s car is very obviously for show with the flash paint, “fake” carbon parts (meaning urethane with a layer of carbon over top) vs. solarian who was building a track slut of sorts to the best of my knowledge at least.
my point is that as far as im concerned whatever point ed was trying to make in this post is moot because sirdriftalot chose his wheels because he thought they would look good and solarian chose his wheels because they fit and they were wide enough to run a decent sized slick.
