Thanks!
I got them here in Paducah,Ky from Vanzant's wheel and tire. The wheels were 17x8.5 and 18x9.5. If i recall they were $675 mounted and balanced. Another forum member (YELLO1) got his from Bob at house of wheels and they were made by the same manufacturer as mine. Hope this helps.

Hey Steve,we plan on coming to St Louis this year for sure. Probably just gonna bring the coupe cause I would hate to see Steph driving the vert in all that traffic. Keep me posted on your upcoming shows.

Thanks,Chris

I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to get the "River area" folks together for a St Louis trip. So lets all get together and make this happen.I think I can bring one of those steaks with me.

Thanks Bencini!!

Any trouble with them and which logo is on them?

I assume Vanzant's is a local tire & wheel shop. Will they ship? Got a number or website? Or do I just need to call House of Wheels?

Thanks

Dan

We might be in trouble if we all stay at the same place.I agree Steve has got connections so maybe he can work on this for us. KC you know if you bring the ladies man(BIG AL) he's gonna be closer to Darla than you.
