Default New Shoes
After many weeks of waiting (long story) I finally got my new wheels. I also added a brand new set of Michelin PSS so I have new rubber all the way around. Here's a few impromptu pics I took while out taking a drive after cleaning and waxing the wheels. I'm loving the new look; my car grabs even more attention now.








I also installed this shift **** I got from RPI:

Thank you!

They are repro's of the Centennial Cup wheels; they're also a chrome version of the black Cup wheels that come on the 2017 Grand Sport.

I only posted a differing opinion because of your stance on chrome.
