Nice G-Spiders.

I looked for a set of those for over a year, but couldn't find a set of new ones for a reasonable price, so I went with a set of MRR GT-1s in 18 X 8.5 +35 , which look quite similar. This must have been the weekend for new shoes - I had this set put on Saturday: Quite happy with them.

Default Dope Downgrade

Got the twist hubcaps. Anyway, they look ok (the caps themselves, not on the vehicle). Fit a bit tight, but thats what the bolts are for. Plus I dipped the rims so they may be a little thicker. The PVD chrome looks nice, but I think this doesn't look so hot. Going to try it with dipping the hubcap as well but I want to give it a few days to see if it grows on me. I think they'll look better black, and I can't go back to chrome because, well, the chrome on the rims is destroyed and one of my rims was alloy so...

Might make the bolts red or maybe the L on the caps red as an accent, but that might look garish.

Yep...small world. That was definitely me. I live in Sable Point

I remember pointing out your car to my wife when we were going into the Tilted Kilt.... I didn't realize it was the one in this photo
