Funny, I noticed the same thing, but I am not old, so rest assured =)

The wheel looks great... I should look into something like that...

Thank you Kzar,

with all the rain that happened in Norcal, the lawn sure got its water and then last week, weather jumped from rainy to sunny.. we went from the 50's to 80's in a few days..

the last time I fertilized it was about 3 weeks back and ever since then, is been growing...

How's the weather in Texas?

A.Wilson 013,

I went on the local craiglist and found a mint condition 5 stars for $80...

so far, I spend $6 dollars for the primer and paint, $4 dollars for the wire brush and $3 dollars for the sand paper..

I would have went powdercoating but $360-$420 for the set..

I rather save that up for a shrockwork or new tires for the wheels..

[Supra725]

thanks t4r4life..

one of these up coming weekend when there isn't work or school, I will finish the rest of the wheels and possibly join you guys for an excursion..

[t4r4life]
