Not sure when you're planning on making the trip but if you happen to be driving past the London, ON area give me a shout if you like. I would love to meet another member.

Also...I have a parts car on the driveway...just saying

Found new rims a set of 4 is 2,600 SAR from a wheel shop going out of business.

The choices are shown below.
What set do you guys think?
I like all of them, even the blackout rims.

I think so too and $690 USD for a new set of rims is pretty good. (No clue about stateside prices)

I paid $600 for mine. You have much bigger rims that's a very good deal.

You might be better off with steel though

Changed front ball joints. It had been about 140,000 miles since they were last changed. They were still in decent shape. Interestingly the right was more worn than the left.
