Frank Lloyd Wright was one Architectural badass.

He was in fact that. He should however have strongly considered seeking the guidance of a structural engineering and waterproofing badass

It was supercar day at work today. A Gallardo, R8 V10, and F430. I had a choice between the Gallardo and the R8, I chose the R8 ticket.

I prefer "before", but nobody asked me, and keeping them wouldn't have brought them into your shop...

Why does it look like the r8's old wheels ended up on the Gallardo?

EDIT: forgot the hotlink

In reply to ransom:

Oh, I totally agree. The situation is the R8 and Gallardo are(were) owned by customers of a performance shop called Topspeed here locally. The R8 was traded in to a Dodge dealer and the guy with the Gallardo wanted the wheels from it. I assume the guy from the Dodge dealer knows the guy with the Gallardo and wanted to come do the switch. So we put the aftermarket wheels from the R8 on the Gallardo, the factory R8 wheels back on the R8, and the factory Gallardo wheels went home with the Gallardo owner loose and no tires. Of course switching the TPMS sensors to the proper car.

Gallardo with factories before the wheel switch:

Also, the tires stayed with each car because the guy with the Gallardo just bought Michelin Super Sports from us like a month or two ago and obviously wanted to keep the $2500 or so tires that he just bought.

I have to admit, I've never heard of him. I like it, though. He looks..'experienced'.
