Default D@mn PO2s!

Okay---

I brought home my first corvette on Saturday. Drove around all day, gave friends and family rides all day, etc. Late Saturday night, I decide to go out and clean off the road grime. While I'm cleaning, I decide it's time for the PO2 wheel covers to come off in favor of the rallys.

When I was removing the second one, it popped off the rim sooner than I expected and landed square on my left toe. Keep in mind that one of these wheel covers weighs about 900 lbs. At least that's how it felt. Anyway, I danced around the garage on one foot, exclaiming things like, "shuckiedarn!" and "golly-gee that hurt!" Or something to that effect. Anyway, I was considering selling the PO2s, and now I'm certain that they're for sale. I should have digital pics up later this week.

:rolleyes:

Sounds like time to step away from the car and get a beer. :cheers:

I'm interested in the PO2's. What condition are they in, and how much are you asking?

shannon-

two are in pretty good condition, straight and clean.

the other two are scuffed, one worse than the other. The bad one is also a little bent, so it looks like it wobbles when rolling.

as far as a price, make me an offer. I'll get some digital pics this week.

Yes PO2's are heavy and squeek during tire rotation but they are also unique in that a bit more than 8000 owners out of 38000 bought them. you might want to consider hanging on to them.

That said, what do you want for them and send some digital photos my way. ;)

Gary-

i realize they're not common, but I've just never cared for them.

I'll get you some digital pics this week. The covers are not perfect (two are pretty nice).
