When i feel the need for a good run thru the twisties, I head down south around 8 at night or later. That way there are not many people on the roads. There is a good 10 mile section of twisties to the south of me.
But at night you have to be much more alert for the Donkey's crossing the roads. They travel down to the ocean at night to drink in the spring pools. Then head back up at dawn. They destroy the car and usually kill the driver or passenger.

Oahu has some ****-*** roads! Gotta zigzag the FD all over the freaking freeway dodging mini-craters. Driving on the freeway fast kinda gives the same sensation as going over whoop-de-doos on my dirtbike.
BTW BigIsland7s I think that main drag outta Kona is nice compared to some of the roads on Oahu. You're right that it is too narrow though, and it has no barriers. The worst story I heard was a streetbike that lost it and flew into the lava fields. I believe the rider lost all the skin on his body. Pretty gruesome accident

AgentSpeed,
Sorry for the late response. I replied to your PM but in case you didn't see it, the wheels are made by a company called "STERN" and the type is "SQUROSSA". They were already on the car when i got it. I have found some information on Stern wheels but nothing on this Squrossa model. I believe these are 17X9 all around. I have 245/40/ZR17 tires all around also. I will know the actual size soon, as it's just about time for some new rear tires (Will's been doing burnouts!! J/K!) Hope this helps!

fdeeznuts,
Many people have mistaken these wheels for Cobra R wheels so I took some pics, sorry for the low quality, it was at night in my garage. If you look closely the lip on my rim is a different shape from the Cobra R wheels. The Cobra R wheels have a 2 step lip, mines is just one smooth angled lip. The second pic shows the name on the rim. Hope this clears things up a little.
