Default Early Bloomer -- {pics}

Early Bloomber - well maybe late bloomber is the correct term

but I recently changed my Wagon Wheels from this



to this
+ oh yeah, which also includes SS Inserts from e*ay for $40
+ corsa's "Yes, they are Indy's -- and they are spectactuar"









i put these together on a new website of mine
::: i think I spent 12 mouse clicks and 4.3 minutes on it

on my site, there are a few cool tools- if you maximize your browser and then click
Start SlideShow and mouse around the bottom and top of the pics...

if you wander around you will see some blog entries and other pics - if I got any facts wrong, PM me

I am actually not sure about the new look of the rims, apart from them being rescued recently
from a (coughs) pontiac :o and being in absolutely amazing condition {i am going to have to
start pulling off my wheels bi-weekly i suppose
to clean the insides like they were when i got em -- you could
seriously eat a meal off the inside area - it was
that clean

Anyways - let me know what you think of the pics (go easy, it was an impulse shoot) and the wheels, im thinking
of selling em and going back to chrome - (seems to suit the darker vettes better) ,
or maybe try and trade for some 'dark grey Z06 rims'

I should prob take some pics of the ChromeWagons as well -- see if anyone needs some...

Cheers,

Freestyler

I am right here. Yes, you need to come go-karting. Check out the sticky in the NE section, or give me a buzz.

Funny I have been contemplating new rims and tires too now becuase of you.
