Re: Tire blow out
Clayton,

Quite the blowout, good thing no one got hurt.

Let me know when you are ready to part with those pesky stock wheels. I'll be in your neck of the woods on the 25th and could bring my checkbook.

It's a good thing I still had them! They really just sit in the basement 9 months out of the year. I can't tell you how many VW people have PMd me on this forum asking to purchase them. I guess their pretty popular in the VDub world.

Don't you have a set of these?
