The Wheel Hunt Continues...
We finally found some 19.5 inch rims to replace the old split rims on the rear duals...or so we thought. After scouring the Internet searching high and low we found some on a junk 3 towns over. The hubs, our son and myself headed out early to meet a guy about some wheels in Hixville. We meet up with Manny, pile into the "yard" car and head out through the junkyard. Yay! They're there....and we pass right by them. Manny says those are sold but he's got more around the bend. By now I'm practically an expert on these wheels and can tell before we even get out that they are not the right ones. Six bolts, not five. Ugghhh! Manny apologizes and say he'll keep a lookout for some. All is not lost though we do head home with some pretty sharp stainless wheel covers at a price that can't be beat. Plus Manny was a real funny guy, we'll definitely keep him in mind if we need something else.
