Oh, great. Now you've jinxed us, and we'll have a foot piled on us on Thursday!

Look very nice - what are they? The new Carlssons? 18"?

I hope not Tommy but I know those 16in steels will be ready for it. They are Lorinser RS1's. I swear this is the last thing before the new leather door panels and maybe 2tone seats.

true I know you have heard it before, I was not planning on new wheels but due to the lovely oversized potholes of NJ/NY i bent and cracked a wheel and was leaking air so new wheels had to be done. I will have the leather done before the next NJ meet whenever that is.

KMAN, you should have kept your original wheels for winter. But I'm glad you didn't. They're working great on my car.

Matt230k, glad to hear that my wheels worked out well for you. This winter has been rough.
