Hey Ken, we need to talk more!
I've been wanting to get some different wheels for my Spit for some time. I
would have been glad to trade my stock, newly sandblasted and painted, with
four good trim rings and center caps, for the wheels I've seen on you car!
But I guess what I really want is a set of tires and wheels for auto-x, keep
the stock wheels for daily use. Anybody out there got a set of racing tires
and wheels they want to get rid of?
Thanks,
Paul Mostrom

I agree!!!

After trading some wheels that came on my car for stock wheels, I had the
stock wheels sandblasted and then painted them myself. They look great six
months later & I'm very happy with them!
Good luck!
