don't worry, I got my gun rack for the dully, and the dear head for over the door. will put the old bath top into the front yard for the new set of spring flowers and just fixed my wallpaper - with bobwire, I ran out of nails.

I am waiting for one of these things to say "Donk-ashine" Sorry I had to. I have had the luck to never see one of these in person. The new thing is 30" clear lexan wheels.

I can't believe those wheels are able to really support the weight of the car under certain loads ...
Looks totally crappy anyway ...

Yeah I saw some picture of those wheels in normal sizes, too. Actually looked quite interesting (but not in 30" size like in the pic above).

yes.
I only got about 2 miles to go - I think that is a pretty good chance before I get stopped by the Polizei - if the wheels hold up that distance

well in all honesty, i think these don't look all that bad :
and apparently they are quite heat resistant.
although brake cooling is a LOT worse i think

Thanks, but no thanks ...
Guess it's like always - those "tuning" F&F folks don't actually DRIVE their car, they just want to make sure it looks like they may be able to go fast ...
