I have a few cashed up bogan tradie mates (all drive modified ford utes) that buy every single jordan/ewing when they are released... no matter what the style/colour etc. they spend thousands every year

i just don't get it

I know a guy who collects em...He has boxes stacked to the ceiling, they never leave the box, and eventually get sold at those sneaker freaker meets... so that he can buy more shoes that will never leave the box...

Seems strange to me, fair enough if you're gonna wear em, or even display them if that's your thing...but to buy em to sit in a box to sell for a small profit, to spend on more of the same, doesn't do it for me...

far better ways to make money..

Well considering they are already going for double retail on resale market it's pretty easy to understand imo

Yeh, but the people I am referring to have no intention of selling them... in fact they really only seem to do anything because it's what their mates/workmates do.

Guess it's same as those dudes who have massive car collections that are never driven, only looked at.

Some shoes you can make money off, others will stay the same or lose value. Same as cars really.

Well we can safely say the above ain't me! Haha

Yeh I display mine I mean I have no reason to buy them but I guess for me it's a hobby some people have hats. Model cars stamps etc it's not like it's some financial strain on me and I'm selective all the ones I have are worth more than what I paid so if I was so inclined I'd just sell em and move on so really no loss to me either way

There are some I wear but very very few

Hamish y u describe all my pet peeves in one post?

That damn shoe thread has made me add at least 5 pairs of shoes to my "collection" (and I used to be very anti collection), but I do wear all my shoes.

I f**kin love dudes like this, half the time they sell shit for significantly less than resale or even retail value or they get bored and sell up everything with a 99c start on ebay. You end up with DS pairs for like $60.

Then you're either not looking hard enough or not patient enough.

Sounds ambitious but I only really get the reebok / jordan or Lebrons so perhaps they are more popular than stuff your chasin.. I've seen some go for retail or slightly over never below for DS

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
