Default Her name was LO-LA!

Sorry for the crosspost (and the Barry Manilow reference).
Thanks to Eric N at SPP and everybody who jumped on board the 'Lola Express' to help me convince Ace that there was a market for these great wheels.
And thanks, Eddie, for the good deal and immediate shipping of the S-03s.
I like my car all over again.
Gotta go for a drive now...see ya!

ps: Yes, they are 17s, with 225/45s. No, I'm not going to lower my car more than the 'sport' suspension...this is the wrong city for that!

Couldn't you quote the Kinks song instead of Barry Manilow?

Default Hey Alan. I just test fit mine today. STILL can't get rubber til next spring but...

I'll probably get Kumho Ecsta. Meanwhile I'll spend the summer polishing them.

But the wheels go on nicely. How were your lugs? Mine seem to be fine. Someone mentioned they got the wrong size/length. I will need to get a different lug wrench tho'. 13/32" socket and a short handle oughta do it, I think. Course, remember to keep a set of your stock lugs for your spare!
