None of these wheel are retouched either. They seem to stay fairly clean up here, but one set I got from a truck with Colorado plates, had every bit of clear and some of the darker areas, peeling and such. I am going to fix them next week when I get home from NP.

So far, I've got 3 1/2 sets of these wheels. I use them for spares also, so that if I have a flat they still look the same, even if the tire is another brand. Style is everything. ROFL I still have my KR set of wheels and also a set of 16's Am Racing 160's. I'm wheel poor. lol AND, a guy has a set of 03 Lightning wheels, I've got dibs on, when he parts the Lightning next month. He put it into the river, so the motor is toast. Wheels are still good though, lol.

I'm going to NP tomorrow, and am picking up 2 more loose wheels from another 03 FX4 in Delta Junction. I was suppose to get them last time, but the guy was on vacation, so I've already arranged to pick these up Saturday. That will give me 4 full sets. These are fairly common up here, along with the Cresents like Brews trucks has. That will give me 3 full sets with tires, 3 set up as spares, and one loose wheel.

If we could find a way to ship cheap, I'd send you a set Whitey. The last set I ship a guy in Oregon cost almost $200 to ship, but he was more than happy. I think it worked out to like $44 a wheel shipped singular, no tires, but if a pair were shipped together, it would bring it down to about $160 I think. 2 about 60# boxes. LOL. Sometimes the Postmen hate me around here. LOL

I'd love those... they are 17's, right? They are absolutely impossible to find around here. I can find nice looking 6 lug wheels ALL DAY. But finding these FX or KR's is impossible.

They are 17's as are the KR/Expy wheels. I have caps for the KR's and all the FX wheels have the centers. I've been real lucky finding these.

The wheels on blue in the pic I posted I sold because of the damn noisy Coopers. I put on the KR wheels wheels on, then found the set of FX's that are on Blue now. I found a set of Heritage wheels on CL and the Lightning's I talked about. The guy wants $225 for the Heritage wheels. I like the Lightning's wheels, just not the Heritage not so much.

My girlfriends vacuum is in the shop. She has to ride her broom, and it doesn't have power steering. She's pissed.

I bet! This one is old, last service date sticker says 1996. It's an old ORECK, it'll last me forever I expect. It's only what, 6 or 7 pounds...kicks butt though. (edit: when I'm not attempting to lift rugs with it anyway..DOH DAMMIT DAMMIT DOH LET GO LET GO, crap!)

I thought for sure when you said "Grandma's Vacuum", you'd say it was a Kirby.
