Gee.... Thanks! Thanks also to MRSVIPER, skyepilot, and Sky spy...
It's tough to know sometimes whether or not my posts are helpful, but occasionally, I help a bit.
Sorry it was a long post, but as I got typing it, there were some very interesting discussion points that entered into the answers to what sounded at first like simple questions...
That's just it, sometimes the most basic questions are the best ones. Thanks MRSVIPER and skyepilot for asking some really good questions! It's this type of information sharing that helps us all learn and grow.
Thanks also Sky spy for the great high resolution photos. That the entire car is also shown is vitally important, since the choice of wheel is an appearance taste issue, and seeing the entire system as a whole is very important. Bravo!
This thread might wind up being split into two threads, one on appearance, and one on the basics of chrome wheels, but for the moment, it's probably OK to have them in the same thread.
