Thanks guys, I dont think the rims are too big? 19" Carlssons.

BlackBenz: A little bit of both 1/4 mile racing, Autocross and shows. Now Opak racing invited us to race with them at Thunder Hill. More of our members are getting older so they're buying Audis, Benz, etc.

SilvrBillet: Are there Euro meets or such in the Bay? The only one that
I know of is Audizine but I dont have an Audi anymore.

"There are only two types of cars: Mercedes and all the rest".
Leonid Brezhnev (tsar of Soviet Union from 1964 to 1982) who, by the way, had a huge collection of luxury cars

I am sorry to break it to you, but Brezhnev wasn't a tsar. The last royal family was Emperor's Nicholas II in 1917. So that is a long time before Brezhnev. And second thing is Brezhnev has always drove a Volga which was a Soviet luxury vehicle and still is but now in Russia. However he did have a Mercedes that was given to him by Nixon I belive. And he did purchase a few after, because indeed he had a huge collection of fine vehicles that are all displayed in the museum in Moscow. I've been to the museum and it is really impressive to see all the cars there. Just my two cents I guess

I don't think the rims is too big at all. I also have 19s on my car and I think they are perfect.

Regarding meets, I haven't really heard of any up in the bay but there are a few in socal area. I believe some of the guys do drive down there. I think there is a tri state meet this month in socal. Maybe you or someone here can organize one.
