The new wheels and tires look great, but the black paint is spectacular!

Those look pretty cool - nice!  I've always been a fan of the stockers (rallies, aluminum, even the turbines from '82 CE) but if I was going to switch to an aftermarket wheel I'd be pretty interested in those.  Wonder if any of the vendors will ever consider making a rally or aluminum replica in a 16 or 17" version???  That might be kinda cool....

Thanks for the comments guys I appreciate the compliments on the wheels and the paint.  Dave, those same wheels are available in 16s I know and I believe 17 as well if that is what you are looking for.  Dick, I can thank you... or blame you for making me spend the $$ for the new wheels.  When I saw your wheels I had to have something like them, yours look great

the new wheels look GREAT, Chip! I know it's off topic, but how's the wife? I remember you guys left Charleston early because she wasn't feeling well. Hope all is OK.
