Hey Randall I cleaned the wheels and polished the lips. Took some pics... With the tires they are almost as big as my old Ford Probe!!!

I found one part where the paint is chipped. It's next to the center cap. Weird, I've never even had the cap off. :o I bet that a tad of touch up paint will make it all better.

(Don't mind the lint on the wheels. lol)

The wheels look amazing, but up close you can see a few little bitty anomalies on the lips. I'm sure if some time is spent polishing them better they will look that much better. Keep in mind these wheels are used, and that is why I am letting them go for what I am.

I'm not worried about that Stealth. I will have time to work with them before they go on the truck. I will clean and fix any little flaws thats on them. I'm just ready to come and get them.

Well my Mom's Aunt (my Mom's sister) and Uncle settled there since Uncle Tom (Tomasula) was in the U.S. Navy, made sense. Otherwise they are from Texas. There's a lot of them in SD now.

Funny thing is my maternal Grandma's family is from San Diego, Texas. Only right they settled down in the San Diego, CA. area.

You're welcome. That's my style.

I hate to part with them, but like you I look forward to getting my new wheels.

Yes. It'll be fine. I had 2" GF shackles for a while (they have 2 sets of holes, 1 1/2" and 2"), then bought my drop components 2" GF drop coils and 3" eibach leafs and used the 1 1/2" GF shackles to make it a 2"x4.5" drop, then bought my GF leafs to make it a GF 2/4 and sold my shackles and leafs. It's a long and confusing route I chose.

I've probably come into close proximity of your clan. I shudder at the thought.

It's OK, they're legal immigrants.
