Default wide wheels

They are Zo6 style. I know-pics, pics, pics. I am more or less computor illiterate, having a computor guy over tomorrow to show me how to e-mail pics, and post them. Hopefully it will sink in and I can do some pics of car with wheels, extractor hood, etc.

Default rims

GMvert: It snowed all the way down to Phoenix over the week end, first time in many years. I live in Flagstaff, 140 miles north of Phoenix. Last year(2005) we got 44" of snow fron Jan.1-Jan.5. This year the first real snow was this weekend(30"0).

ben dover: Like your handle-read it twice before it sank in. I'm going with 285s in the front and 335s on the rear.
