    Drove it through the heart of the destruction in Mayfield, KY. I live less than 15 miles from there, and that town once held the Continental Tire factory where I started my career once upon a time. The pictures and videos you have seen don't even come close to the magnitude of destruction. Please pray for my community if that is your thing, and if it isn't then positive energy and thoughts work too.

    I've got a few friends down that way, got lots of harrowing pics sent my way. Wow what a disaster I wish only the best for the survivors.

    Finally got new wheels and tires on. Bye bye steelies. Went with the Mini cooper R81 "Imola" wheel after reading around. Found a set at a junk yard for a fair price. 15s do look much better than the stock 14s. That and new LRR tires. Drives much better and lost 7lbs per corner. Noticeable change in pickup now.

    Great choice. It's getting harder to find sets of those wheels in good shape.

    Picture or it never happened!

    I was thinking about leaving off my high performance wheel covers and just painting the wheels a super gloss black. I think it would look kind of good. And is way cheap. And then get the winders tinted. Blue car, black winders and wheels. Would look like a "Cartel Cruiser 3-Tapper Badass." Opinions?

    Naw. My painting will be way down on quality ... like Hyundai car painting! Wouldn't want to make my mirrors look bad. But Dupli-Color on plain ole steel wheels generally has good results!

    I think the AC actually turned on while out driving today in unseasonably warm weather!
