Momma got some new shoes

[jmel]

Bought the ole lady some new tires/wheels this weekend. Was a hard decision, because nothing wrong with my old tires/wheels - other than the fact that they were rally style wheels and not exactly the style I wanted - hell my tires were only 6-8 months old, and the tires i bought were a bit more used. But it was his wheels that i was really after....and maybe the slicks too.

Sold me a set of 6 - 2 bigs, 2 littles, 2 slicks - all with wheels, caps, rings. His skinnies are an inch taller than mine, and an inch narrower. Think it fits the style a little better.

I don't know what it looked like before, but I really don't care. Looks great, and great pictures, too. [cl

I personally wouldn't have any use for the tall skinny ones, but those slicks look great on it..

looks great!

I agree, better look overall with the new wheels, and I do like the wider slick in the back vs the tall & skinny...

A small change that makes a big difference. I like your roadster a lot.[cl

Thanks for the comments everybody. You're making me feel a bit better about my purchase. I think it was the right move, but I get buyers remourse really easily. Its money that I should have spent towards other bills...but its something that the roadster "needed".

Now I just gotta sell my Rally wheels to recoup some of my money.

Great choice, they make a huge difference. I remember discussing cutting down the windshield height. With those wheels, the tall windshield works.
