New shoes (size 17) for Ruby
I got some new (to me) Kinesis 17" wheels from Jeff (catca) and just picked them up after getting new Goodyears mounted on them. I was really torn between these and the S-03's, which I love, but based on some recent tests, these really got the better of me.
I need to put my standard wheel studs back in the front hubs tomorrow, and I'll put them on. In the meantime, I sure like looking at them:

BTW - Of all the cars going up and down 2499, I can always pick yours out when I am in the garage or outside - don't even have to look up. Those carbs at 5K do it everytime!

Nice. I'm curious to see how you like the Goodyears. I'll probably put them on my 930 if I ever finish it since the Goodyears are available in a 315-17".

Heh I went back and forth with poor Jeff on those wheels for over a month
I really wanted them, wound up getting fikse's instead, but I really like the gunmetal finish.Jeff's a great guy, got the patience of a saint , and seeing the wheels, he obviously delivers on his promises.
