Carlisle was cool wasn't it. My third trip. Hey, I think I saw your car at the show out in the Greenbriar area a couple weeks ago (before the rain). I think I checked out your wheels for about 15 minutes. That's the look and the size I want. Looks good on your car. Those 11 inchers fit nicely into your fender wells. Is the rear of you car wider or is it just your wheel offset?

hey guys,
brian... were you the guy with the camcorder at the greenbriar show that was video'ing all up in the wheelwells? i didn't spend that much time near my car, but next time you see me you should say hi. actually, i am going to go drive the go-karts tonight at the indoor cart place in portsmouth. i'll probably be there around 7 or so if you want to show up. i'm about 6'4 with black hair, early 30's. yur 2 slo is the name i race under.

roger, it was good to talk to you. after you walked away, i told my girlfriend that it's cool to see other young guys in vettes. i got my first one at about 21. on the third one now. you have some great plans for that car! should be a monster.

see ya!
sonny

I really liked the wheels on this C4 at Carlisle. Are these the CCWs?
