I don't think the tour goes out to Hall 52, F25 assy., so I'll get you out there if you want to see it. It's like night and day difference.

give me a minute to pack and I'm on it ... well, next time that is!

Thanks for the VW comment - I kinda see the similarity.

We actually bought the car with the intent to go back to a 18" factory wheel. Trade - Craigslist ect.
but SURPRISINGLY these 20's ride Great - and accommodate bad roads and potholes etc all the way from the north to the south. We just will pinch our pennies a bit more to save up for the rubber replacement as needed.

Hopeful we can get 15K out of a set- as new tires are currently fitted. We shall SEE!
