Cool wheels - see you in a couple weeks
It's functional.. by ditching the power paint the wheels are lighter.. you might want to keep that in mind..

Cheaper to change the look of the car than build a new car.. lol

Yep.. and with that handicap you just might be able to keep up.. on the road course at least.. lol

Hey, at least I know my limitations.. my car is way faster than I am.

Keep up? This big block wants to hunt a shiny penny with a oversize mouse under the hood. She's been waiting a long, long time. First beers on me.

I have no problem with you changing wheels...daily if you like.

Just wondered if there was something performance wise learned from the last set and improved upon with this set.
