Default What do you think? (Sorry jimkw)

Since I now have a bad balljoint and need to wait a couple of weeks to buy the part due to $$$. I put the spare set of turbo rims on the Yellow R this way it won't totally kill the 17's.

I put new tires on in Nov. and they are pretty well toasted already.

So for now I put the 16's on since I have a few spare 16 inch tires in the garage.

Here is the pics. Let me know what you think.

Yah I know but 16's are alot cheaper than the 17's.
Also I might clean and repaint the 17's while I have them off.

LOL
But I needed to save the 17's. I cannot afford another $300.00 for 4 more tires.
I can get 16's for FREE.

I know yours was unique with the turbo rims Im not trying to copy you though!!!

I see, I just wondered if my colour blindness got worse or the world has suddenly decided to call yellow as red...[8D].

The 850 still looks sharp with the OEM wheels.

I have 15" on my 97and 98. I don't even have a set of Columbas right now. Justin took them to practice refinishing. I just ruined a set of 17" tires on my Volans which I have on the T5R so I know what you are talking about with these tires.

Tech,
I have been looking for some replacements and if your Columba' s are very clean I could offer $300. and you could buy your tires or if you are just tired of your 17" I may take those(cannot remember what you had-Titans?).

Sorry but none are for sale at the moment.
I need to keep some spares as well.
The 17's werent burnt up all the way but with the bad balljoint I wanted to save them till I fixed it.
