Re: Updated pics - new "shoes"

I got the wheels used from a friend. They're Progressive Wheels, 16x8. I think Progressive may have gone out of buisness. . Check your favorite wheel dealer, maybe they have some left over stock. Or try evil bay. Sorry I can't be more help.

Dang! I really like the look of the slots, but the ones I REALLY want are Stupid Expensive!! Yes, the price deserves capital letters. Check here. However, when I checked the price on them last year they were around 450.00/each. Apparently they are trying to get rid of them.

It's the forging that costs so much. Incredibly strong, but rediculously light. The best of both worlds, but you gotta pay to play. If you've ever picked up a "baja" type OE wheel from a Super-Duty you know what I'm talking about. Way, WAY lighter than you think!! I think they are awesome, but I just can't justify that kind of money unless I suddenly become independently wealthy.

On that note, buy all the AAPL stock you can get you're hands on.

Later,
Buddy
