    That sucks. I just always liked the look of 16's on these cars. 15's seem too small and 17's just seem a touch big. Your contours did fit quite nice though.

              I drove it to work today and yesterday, I'm a bit surprised you didn't hear it!

              Still hoping I have time to stop by the e30 picnic on Saturday, but there's soooo much to do yet. We'll see.

                  Successful 5,000 mile shakedown run to Kansas City, Portland, Seattle and back. Here are two quick pictures.

                            Thanks guys! Really excited to do a little more buttoning up on this (it's definitely not done) and take it out to local shows this summer. 

                            And Dave I do still owe you a ride. Maybe I'll bring it to work next week.

                                    I did it again. Refinished a set of DS1's that I've had sitting around for a while. Likely temporary, but it's always fun tossing on something else.

                                        The DS1's are very fitting on that car for some reason.  They don't over take the subtle styling of the 240 but add just a little pop to it.
