Hi Johnny !

I think the wheels look my friend ! I've been thinking about wheels/tires & some other changes & even have the car kinda for sale...Don't know what to do I guess. I hope all is well with you ! I'm a bit jealous, my car has been stored since October & It looks like another month before the weather/roads improve enough to even consider getting it out.

Pat
