I finally got some Michelins mounted on the Vossen wheels that I have had for quite a while.

These will go on the car as soon as the ZR1 front end conversion is done.

Sweet, but I have to ask, do you always bring your tires inside the house.

My wife is pretty tolerant but would draw the line spending the evening with the Michelins.

If there's a wife or significant other, they sure are understanding. My wife is the warden of everything in a place and the car or parts has not a place in her house. Nice wheels!!!!

Thanks!

Don may have to re-ship my extreme spoiler on Tuesday if it doesn't arrive tomorrow. If so, he is going to ship it by Fedex for sure.

The USPS has had mine since Nov. 30.
