Default New wheels

Hi folks, since the weather has not allowed me to do anything to my new baby I might as well post the best current pic I have with the new wheels. They are Factory Reproductions brand from PFYC. "JT" at PFYC treated me very well, and has my full recommendation. They are C7Z06 repros and I love 'em. (That may change when I have to start cleaning them)

Stock, 8.5/17 9.5/18.
I had bought the tires about 2 weeks before, so when I found the 2 original rear wheels had cracks, I was committed to the size.

Goodrich GForce Comp2 3 season. This one won't have to drive in bad conditions, so I didn't get A/S.

I love the wheels but am not jealous of when its time to clean them up. Looks sharp.

They look great on your car! I used to live in Morristown, worked there for 30 years. Now live in Texas. The photo looks like, um, possibly Mills Street? Best wishes to you!
