The original Chrome Cobra Wheels were getting pretty ugly around the bead area keeping them from sealing properly. These are Replica's and if you look at the other pics of this car in my profile, you can see the difference. They were on sale for 109ea. and considering they're tripple chrome plated as well, I guess I won't complain. The Spokes are identical to the original, but the rim side of things are a bit different but do really shine nice. The sun came back to us today, so I thought I...

The sun came back to us today, so I thought I better get a picture in before it does something weird like snow again at this time of year and at this elevation.
