...a Partner in Zuffenhaus? That would explain the pipeline.... (if true).

I like the wheels on your ride, Ed. Sure look a lot better than any blingy gold look...

...attitudes abound within our world.......this group,..that group..... I hate 'em all (attitudes).

Word choices make all the difference in the world.....

..back to "wheels" (non-Fuchs, that is.....)

Best to all,

Doyle

that brings up another question.

Remember when BBS wheels really took off in the 80s? They were newfangled 3-piece modular wheels that consisted of two "rims" and a "center". They were useful because it was possible to order custom offsets by combining this "rim" with that "rim". I think what happened next is that people who were clueless started calling all aftermarket wheels "rims".

A rim, to me, is a component of a "wheel". They are all wheels to me, not rims.

most certainly a "wheel"...I, too, have seen people use the same terminology when speaking of "wheels".

and all single piece cast wheels were "mag wheels", whether they were made of aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, or steel.

Boy I am even worse with the terminology "wheels"...at first I thought he was referring to a car.

All true with the nomenclature over the years. I'm proud to say I did have a set of "mags" once.

And now, they're even called by ludicrous names such as "dubs". I guess only if they're "22's".

I had "mags" on my "'cuda" back in "school" wrapped in "BFG's".

(remind me to post the pictures of my neighbor's 930S he took the RUFs off of in favor of a set of 20's)
