In over 50 years of going to car shows, this is a new one for me. Never knew it was a "thing," and a stupid one at that.....

You caught this Grievous Point Deduction Just In Time before the Bloomington Gold and Eckler's Upcoming Judging Shows
That is what friends are for my friend
Good luck at the BG&E
I wouldn't chance cracking one and take the hit by claiming OEM collector status
2003 is a special year to me

picked up my 5 spokes today. one front rim is bent. too much to balance. sh--. looking at a new front and rear,hope they are still available and painted with clear. that's a lot to wish for. if not i'll still get them and hope i can match colors.
