Makes me feel bad for not washing mine since early March. (It is garaged however.) | |

| LOOKS GOOD! I like the color combo! One small suggestion though ... maybe a little detailing on the mufflers and tail pipes? | |

| Here is a picture of the new (getting them used from a friend) 18" chrome rims I'll be getting on my Riv. My current rims and tires are for sale, I'll put a post in the "for sale" section when I get a chance or pm me if you are interested in them. Not sure about shipping them, but I'm sure something can be figured out... | |

| Here is a little teaser pic of my Riv with the new 18" Zinik Z18 Minardi rims I picked up this weekend. I updated the title thread also so I can just add to this one and not make new threads when I change stuff on the car. | |

| Actually it does get driven in the winter, but maybe only the 3 years that I've owned it. The chrome rims come off and the factory ones go back on in the winter though. I think I'm the third owner of the car, the first owner may have driven it in the winter, but the second owner who got the car when it was 2 years old never drove it in the winter so it had 8 years in there where it didn't seen snow at all. I love the way my old rims look on your car Dave, if I didn't have a black riv I'm sure it'd be white diamond like your's. | |

| Your car looks great! I like those rims, but actually not as much as I liked the previous rims you had - except that they were too small. I'm thinking of getting the 17" version of those Gnome rims. I want to get my black Riv as clean as yours. Great job! | |

| Steve, the Gnome rims are discontinued, good luck finding them, or caps. | |

| You sure you don't live in Fargo? That looks EXACTLY like my old house and driveway you're parked in. WEIRD. - 54_nailhead wrote:

| Really? Positive it's not in Fargo and the house is for sale also, if you know of anybody looking for a place in southwest Minnesota send them my way.
Yeah Steve KMC discontinued the Gnome rim, I won't say that you can't find a set of 17" for sale someplace but you may be looking for a long time if that's the rim you want.... | |

I see some places on the web offering them for sale. Perhaps they just haven't updated their site yet. | |
