Polished the 3rd wheel this weekend. 12 hours hunched over and it is finally finished. Check it out next to the 4th and final wheel: And a close-up of it. Then I stopped in to the painter today and picked up the centers and caps. What do ya think? They'll look killer on our 330cic too. __________________ Sean 1995 Active | | | 10-16-2012, 05:21 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: norcal - 94590 Posts: 3,186 | Hmmmm...

Ok, I like purple. I really like my wife. And when my wife says, "you should paint them this color" (pointing at a lamp while eating at The Old Spaghetti Factory) I pay attention. The other night I went into her closet and picked out a blouse of hers that closely resembled the color she pointed out at dinner that night a few months ago. And what do ya know...I have killer lookin' wheels and got laid when I brought them home. That's the way these wheels became burgundy.

Stopped by my local Discount tire this afternoon to price the Continental line-up and took interest in the Falken FK 452 215/45R-17. Any suggestions?
