I like how you mention miserable weather, and have the bubble pointing to a Tim's 10 minutes from my house, haha!

His 205s don't look stretched (I've seen them in person), so I bet it is rim guard on the tire vs not. It's why my tires look like garbage.
+40 offset on a 7 inch wide wheel? So with my quick math he's got .. 12mm or so more space between the tires and the fenders, and rolling the fenders gives you.. just 3 or 4mm. That's not even counting a rim guard if you have one (plus with 16s could you really compress the suspension that much?)

my numbers are TOTALLY off though because for some reason I was thinking it was 16x6 vs 16x7.
my brain is dead, I'm not a gamer at all but since waking up at 11 (yay) I've probably gotten 10 hours of gameplay in Forza 2 on xbox 360 (bought the console Friday, game came for free with the console so I figured it was crap.. turns out I like it more than gran turismo, and I've been a gran turismo fanboy since the first one!
Today I did a lot to my third gen in the game.. it's over 500whp and still decently driveable, but the suspension settings I have to run to make it controllable seem to have affected the braking (too much camber? I'm only running -1.4 front and rear) .. that or no matter how much you upgrade the brakes they just kinda suck for the Pro in game.
the graphics in game might be awesome but damn.. the photo quality is GROSS! Gran Turismo 4 takes much better photos. oh well, see attached.

Forza is too 'real' for me 
I like games to be arcade-y, like need for speed, just buy 'engine pack 3' and run the streets at 250+ mph
Hit a wall at full boost? Just bounce off and keep going! Yay!

just doin the math to see why you rub with rolled fenders but he's just fine.

That's cool, I need to get a 360 soon. Do they have any other proteges on the game so I can get one similar to my GT4 pro? I do agree that the GT4 pics seem to come out better though. Heres one of my pro on that game.

You can't go spoilerless, nor can you put the 03.5 lips on, but you can buy a dg motorsports lip (yes, not an autoexe lip).. it comes just half painted. I destroyed it within like 45 seconds so I removed it :P
as for sand mica.. you can just buy it in silver and throw sand at your TV. --you know, if you could buy it in any color other than laser blue
