Default Decisions, decisions. What to do?

So, it looks like the TT will be coming home very soon, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it.

That said, I recently found a very tempting deal on a set of Oettinger REs (single piece, 19", silver), and I'm thinking that it might not be utterly stupid to jump on that and sell the Braids.

Logic behind that:
1. The Braids (used) should sell for enough to cover the cost of the Oettingers (new).

2. It'll be a small change to the car, and it might make me happy for a while. Even if not, the buyer would get a newer set of wheels with the car (though the Braids are currently in pretty damned awesome shape).




So... Thoughts?

The Oettingers are cleaner looking without the bolts.

Drive car first. Then make decisions.

Default I like Oettinger, but I think I'd keep the Braids

They're really aggressive and I've never really seen another car with them - let alone a TT.

IIRC, they're the only set in the US... Maybe one of two...

Default Your wheels....

are THE reason why I spent many, many hours on the web and on the phone trying to find out what they were all about. Then I found that it was a major pita to get them...so I gave up. I'd keep the Braids

btw - while it's good to think of options, it's possible that you'll fall in love with the TT when you get it back! I kinda hope that's what happens anyway...
