Thanks all! (except Hope) Believe me Kev, I know what you mean. As happy as I am to FINALLY have new wheels, it just felt sort of wrong taking them from Brian, and his is still my favorite car on this site. Thanks to YOU too Brian--now hopefully we will both be happy! And you can visit them any time.

Ooooh! Visitation rights? One weekend a month? Wait, do I have to pay for tire support?

Hey yeah...tire support. I never thought of that! I like it. Kamikaze you are right--guess I'd better get the camera out, wash the car, and take some new pics so someone on here can make me a new signature!

Thanks North--I love them too. But I promised Brian I wouldn't brag on 'em too much...he was sad to see them go. So I'm happy, but not TOO happy....cautiously happy let's say.

What the hell is the deal with everyone's obsession with wheel gap on cars that aren't theirs anyway? Get over it already! The car looks fine to me.Shouldn't you want to give the suspension some room to do its job?

OK, enough is enough. It's off-topic and just ridiculous, now.

Wheel gap helps ground clearance. I have but the one car, and I am not afraid to drive it in the winter. Anybody know where I can get a lift kit? I laugh at the ricers with lowered cars and ground effects glue-ons, they must only be able to drive on perfect roads in perfect weather. Anyway, the wheels look great on your car Becky. Too bad BC had to part with them, but great for you

Thanks joat--I love them too. I felt bad driving away with Brian's wheels though. I need to find someone to drive my car for me so I can see it--I've had two or three people tell me it looks REALLY cool when it's moving.

You just need to find a building with Mirrored glass so you can stare at your car when you drive by... (man there was a comercial like that a few years back)I did that when I first got my bike... I wanted to see what I looked like riding on the bike with my Shoei helmet. I went by this place like 5 times... looked really stupid, but I just wanted to see how cool I looked (not really, ok... really)but if it's any consolation I don't do it anymore.. it was just that once... I swear!

Please don't get me wrong, i'm just playin with ya, they do look REALLY nice on your car... I can imagine your regret of driving off on the new wheels, I had the same thing happen when I went to buy my "new" subaru, the guy had put so much into it... I made sure to do a nice "drive by" in front of him as we parted ways...

Hey Cole--thanks. I still love them. No new pics yet. It's been snowy and slushy here and my car is REALLY dirty. Now it's below zero so I don't really want to wash it just yet. But hopefully we'll get some nice days pretty soon so I can get out there and take some photos.
