Weekend @ Discount Tire Center (El Monte)

During this past weekend, I had a chance to check out one of a good and very well known wheels and Tires retailers in the San Gabriel Valley, Discount Tire Centers (El Monte).  DTC (El Monte) is located in the city of El Monte, East of Downtown LA, North of Freeway 10, off Santa Anita Ave. exit. 

If you are looking for tires or wheels, give them a call, and ask for Vick.  Vick is the main man there and he’s one of the Old school in this industry.  No matter what kind of car you have, he knows what wheel and tire to fit on.  Most wheel and tire brands in the market, Vick can get them for you.  Not only he has the best price in town for wheels and tires, he also offers Suspension, brake, and alignment services at a vey good price.  Appointment is recommended to avoid the long waiting.

 Most of DTC El Monte’s customers have been coming for parts and services repeatedly for years and years.  One customer I had a chance to talk to, has been a repeated customer for over 15 years.  For this visit, he had Vick serviced his Infiniti FX35 brakes.  Another customer, Andy, showed up at 8 am to have his rotors and brakes serviced and at the end he decided to purchase a new set of rims and tires.  A set of 19 inch SSR Type F Flat Black were nicely installed on his G35 coupe.

Thanks to all the crews at Discount Tire Centers El Monte to let me check out the shop and take some pictures during the busy day.

Over the Weekend




Check out that kettle of Top Ramen!



Mr. & Ms. dirtbags :p



Paul Wall

Welcome to Yi Ga Ju!

I’ll start off by saying that this place was pretty fun to visit. It’s one of the few Korean “drinking” spots that actually has really really yummy food! The place is called “Yi Ga Ju” (It’s not a Pokemon), and it’s located somewhere in the middle of K-Town Los Angeles.

Dishes for the evening included some fancy top ramen, a really really tastey bowl of Bulgogi over rice, and egg omelet. Prior to this event, I heard from a friend that when you choose a place to go to in Korea town, you either choose a place for drinking or a place for eating, and you can never have both in the same restaurant. HOWEVER, this place proved my friend wrong, since the food was MOST delicious. The drinks were pretty fine as well.

We had the usual Hite beer… but also some really good Grape Wine Soju (it wasn’t wine… but it tasted like it) and also some really not-so-good Plum Wine Soju. Paul wall (my cousin) took care of that one while the rest of us drank the grape one.

Up Stairs, they had karaoke rooms and some other stuff, but we didn’t check it out — maybe next time. Besides, most of the songs in the system are probably (maybe?) Korean, so I wouldn’t be able to follow them anyways.

There was one funny thing I noticed though. I went to the bathroom, and there was this Korean church poster thing on the inside of one of the stalls. I… don’t know if the inside of a stall is the best place for this sort of stuff, but I guess whatever works. “12 Hours Non-Stop…” Usually, “worship” only takes about 15-20 minutes. :p

Overall, this place was awesome. Everyone try and find it! 😀

Wheel 101 (Part 2) – Offset or ET

Offset is the distance between the centerline of the wheel and the plane of the hub (mounting surface of the wheel).  It can be either positive or negative, and is usually measured in millimeters.  Sometimes you might have seen a German prefix “ET” meaning “Einpresstiefe” or, literally, “insertion depth” is used to refer to offset.  In some cases, “-” negative sign or “+” positive sign is used in front of offset number.

I found this video pretty amusing.
