Thanks Ben,

Does the friday / saturday plan sound good ?

Ant,

Im probably going with 19's depsite 18's likely perform better. Why do you say the ebay wheels arn't a good option if i'm hard in them ?

When I say hard, I do a fair bit of city driving and end up prallel parking now and then as well as see an occassional pothole.

I have had great luck with ebay wheels and being that they are so inexpensive its hard to ignore as an option.

I'm hoping so! If for some reason I can't get up there on Friday night I will make it a point to be there VERY early on Saturday a.m.


Coakley,

Not sure if a new ride is on the radar yet. Will most likely be looking at some new real estate. We'll see. I wouldn't mind a break from cars for a little while. My beater is a fun little project anyway.

Thanks andy !

you search for a car for 6 months and the second you find one there are 3 that pop up for sale ! Isn't that how it always works...


Ben, I'm going to make the flight reservation for saturday if you can confirm you're rolling solo.

Steve's report is really a formality at this point.

Ajay,

Don't sweat the flight. I'm going to have a ride back as it looks right now. I appreciate it bud. Today has been CRAZY in the worst ways possible. Sorry for being patchy on the communication.

Thanks.

Sorry, I was talking about the genuine RUF Modular (split rim) wheels
They're pretty expensive, and being three piece they take a bit of looking after

I really like the single piece RUF Wheels
But I absolutely love the RUF three piece wheels

If you can find a set and could take care of them they'd be a great choice
