Glad to see I'm not the only one with wheels inside their house.
I have a new set of ace slicks right behind me at my desk that I'm polishing.
Your wheels aren't for me, but looking good.

They look great, but your Stellas are the reason I'm getting Stellas - you inspired me with them..

Well i got a deal on the wheels but went over ny budget on the tires,the whole set-up cost me around 4500. They stick out about 1/8 of an inch which doesnt bother me at all. I started to go with 19's but but the deal i worked out was for 20/20 and 19" tires can get pretty pricey
