Actually, there are also E checks, but they are rare; lots of airplanes get retired at that stage.

I feel comfortable using Fuchs wheels for street use on non-race rubber on what is now a classic car, but not much more than that. That said, I pulled the original Fuchs off my car and stuck them in storage!
Your car looked great with the Fuchs....

I do not disbelieve in anything. I start from the premise that everything is true until proved false. Everything is possible.
