That is so cool[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] 4 wheelin on a business trip[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If you roll it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img] you can just right it off, as a business expense[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

So are you driving the burb to Arizona or flying in[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and picking it up at the rental?

LJ, what did you order? Is it chrome or aluminum? Friend Steve (you might have met him) bought expensive chrome wheels about 7-8 months ago. He just noticed rust starting to form on them[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

Well, im not gonna say till they get here and i get pics. haha I just hope they look good.
Theyre chrome. I had some Chrome wheels on my mustang that were not cheap(250 a piece) and never had a problem. Even drove out on beaches and such. It might depend on the brand. Who knows.
But, I did wash and wax that car religiously...... Even armorald the gas tank. hah
One thing i do know is that even though polished may look good, it requiers ALOT of upkeep. Thats one reason i took the polished wheels off the jeep. THey were a PITA! Chrome is very easy.

I agree with you about the polished wheels being a pita") I just bought some metal polish to clean mine up after this weather blows through[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Can't wait to see the pictures[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

I will drive to Yuma and El Centro but I fly to Phoenix and do the rental thing. Going from El Centro to Yuma you pass right by Gordon's so I just couldn't pass up that opportunity[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] (it wasn't the first time I did this[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

The only thing I don't like is going out there by myself. My basics and common sense tells me not to do it but my brains tells me- Git R done[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

I used to do this all the time and it made my wife crazy. I dont do it as much now, but still do it. Thats when i ride about 60-70%, and take it easy.
