Default Thank you!

It was worth the drive. Now I have to decide what to do with my old rims. They'll prob just collect dust and spiders in the garage.

Default Old Rims?

Dan,
You could probably sell your old rims, or wheels. Might help to pay for your MIMA! And keep one for a real spare tire instead of that donut thing. There's enough room in the spare well for a real one. I might be inclined to buy one. Nice pic's!!! Jack

Your car looks terrific. It is a stand out in what already is a unique car. I was wondering if the body shop had to take any special precautions with the battery pack when the car was in the drying booth due to the heat?

Default selling old rims

Some of the old rims are a little chewed up looking, I like the idea of selling them for MIMA. When can I come check out your ride?

Actually they didn't use heat at all. They let it cure the right way, but it took a long time because it wasn't really warm out

Your Insight looks great. All you need now is rippling red LEDs in the radiator grille, just like KITT / Knight Rider. (How sad am I?)

You can get about $300 for your Insight rims on Ebay.
Lots of auto-x racers like to buy them because they are light weight and the required width to compete in the stock class.
