Great! Another anti-wagon wheel thread...
Your car looks great! But I am still holding out on changing my chrome wagon wheels. No point in dropping another $2-4k in wheels when my chromies look just fine and are in pristine condition.
I'm sure others will disagree though...

I've ordered some Black Gorilla Nuts (does it bother anyone else how that sounds?) to finish off the project![/QUOTE]
