New wheels, new wing,

A couple of folks were kind enough to see my latest mods, so:

Went from Gemballa 19":



to ROOCK 18":



Obviously need center caps - TBD. Wanted to reduce unsprung weight, a little less BLING, and something a little more reliable for very hard daily driving.

ROOCK wing:







will stripe wing next week

sticker - takes a hour to put on and half that to take off. This way I know which seal grey TT in the parking lot at the grocery store is mine. Everyone has one in SoCal.

I have a set of chrome Ralph Boothe silver badge emblems I'm going to pull off my other wheels. If they don't look good, I'll scrounge up a set of Turbo scripts or the silver with black etched emblems.

Tim W. is infamous around these parts
Ken:

Looks great. And I admit to all that I could not find the Roock caps for him

Your car looks great and I think the stripe is a great touch.

Keep up the great work
