Default Back from vacation, mounted up the new wheels (Moven SP-10s)

(See the sig for a pic of wheels on car)

I've never had to use hubcentric rings before and to be honest, I'm not thrilled about them. The rings are plastic and I fully expect them to be a b!tch to remove next winter.

The 18x8.5 wheels with 235/40 tires make the 17s look cute; these are seriously meaty and the FILL the wheel wells. First impressions are, dayum those be wide. Second impression is, they're much more sedate and mature than my over-the-top Emotion SSLs, though I still love the lip on the SSLs. Steering shows more effort, too, but not enough to warrant a Servotronic reinstall.

Summer's here, more or less, so let's open the pool and bring on the summer ales.

Default Nope, DOT only

Not because I prefer them, just because I never found the time to bake the headlights.

Default Thanks, Henry

Your Sudbury pix inspired me to up the ante so I moved out of the driveway and found a decent spot.

Now the trick is going to be keeping it clean for the 27th! ;-)
