Well behaved bunch I'll never doubt you again

When the weather warms up a bit I may pursue it a little further.

Thanks for the input.

A definate improvment, sure makes a difference. I have chrome wagon wheels on my '98 coupe and I find myself not all that crazy about them knowing there are lots nicer looking rims out there.

I like it much better because it keeps the spokes from looking so thick. I think that is the problem with those wheels.

If you like them its a cool mod. I personally can't stand wagon wheels. Dumped them on my 99 for polished Y2K's and never looked back!!
