Default Springtime is wheeltime!!
My third set in a year...

1st Set: Chrome 5 spokes, loved them. Had new tires put on and the the guys at TireRack let me know two rims were really bent. They were concerned with all the weight they had to add to balance them and potential shake in the steering wheel. Knowing this the gears between my ears were set in motion for another set.

2nd Set: Polished 5 spokes. Bought these from a forum member in amazing shape! Had them mounted, liked them but missed the bling. Just about ready to have them powder coated black chrome and then...

Third Set: Chrome 7 spokes from the Hertz ZHZ cars. I liked these since the day I first saw them. Somewhat hard to find, but I found a set at a reasonable price and grabbed them. Now I'll see how long these last!!

I like the uniqueness of those 7 spokes wheels -- cool! Don't see a lot of those around -- good job!
