beautiful, love the wheels!! Had our '02Z since 2007. Has over 90,000 miles. You are going to be glad you got silver. A lot easier to keep clean and it turns heads even when dirty!

Well I got the car yesterday on my lunch. I was in a rush so I quickly wiped off the snow and hit the 18 from Fed Way back to Maple Valley and realized the wipers didn't seem to work. Problem found at work...they were removed and in the trunk.

Definitely need to take the wheels and tires off. Tires are Toyo R888's and the front wheels are chambered in for racing. I do have a set of C6 wheels I'll throw on for now.

Sounds like you have been hanging around Phil too long. Has anyone actually seen his light weight four wheeled red conveyance? One of 42?

Congrats on your new purchase looks like you got an awesome deal. I had been eyeballing that car on autotrader but the deal almost seemed to good to be true. I guess it really was an awesome deal lol.
