Default Thanks to KR8YRF8, great deal on oem rims/snows! I drove 7 hours roundtrip today...

from NH to Rockport, ME to pick up a set of oem 16" sport rims with Pirelli Winter Ice tires that he was getting rid of.

Beautiful fall day in New England, great day for a drive.

Those of you with kids will appreciate this place, it was right by where I picked up the wheels.

KR8YRF8's parents(who had the stuff in the basement) live near/on the water in Rockport with an absolutely beautiful view from Owl's Head to the south all the way to Acadia and Cadillac Mtn to the north. They were very nice, but I didn't want to impose by taking pictures from their house!!

Beatiful scenery and foliage, not quite peak yet. I wish I had more time to spend in Maine, but I had to get home. Saw lots of Audis in Maine, even a silver s-line like mine, but I don't think he was an AW'er.
Anyway, thanks Steven for the great deal, and it was great to meet your parents.
