    been looking all day at tires and rims, trying to pull the trigger on a new set of rims being I want some new tires.
    the ones I like show a pic but they are different in person. that means I will have to have them powder coated/painted or polished when I get them. then the centers I like are $100 each...:slap:
    $3k plus tax/mounting and balancing.
    sure hope these are the ones that make smoke...:drive:...:chirp:...:outtahere:

    That's a good looking wheel! I remember when Grant wheels cost a whole lot less that that, used to sell a lot of them in the early 90's.

    big day...
    went by the tire store and ordered my new tires.
    had them pull the old tires off the rims for me while I was there.
    dropped the rims off for powder coating.
    they had my calipers in the oven baking so I will pick them up tomorrow and drop them off to my graphics Guy along with my wheel centers to get the graphics put on them.
    also went by my painter to talk colors.
    shooting for all this to be done by late Friday.

    ...:whew:...
