Shark got new rear wheel spacers

So when I first got my new wheels a few months ago many of you suggested that I install some spacers to better fill the rear wheel wells. Well I ordered a set of DRM type 21mm spacers. Well I finally ordered a set and installed them this morning.

So what'd ya think?

Here is a shot of one of the spacers:

FYI for those worried that I might get vibration - I've already test drove it and it seems to be no different than without the spacers.

Yes, I've been thinking the same thing. So this past Thanksgiving weekend I made a point to take her out for a couple of spins and treated her to a day at the spa. Also while I was working on my truck & the Shark I made sure to check & change some of her fluids and gave her a good going over.

Wife commented that there's not enough of me to go around. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[/ QUOTE ]Yes the weather is really nice right now but we've got some of the wet stuff the last couple of days. Can't complain as we really need it. But we're looking to be sunny and in the 70's by the weekend. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Well when I think about it most of my bloodline is Celtic, I do have a lot of Germanic red & white blood cells flowing in my veins too.

So if that’s the prerequisite for my vehicles purchases, I could in theory end up with a lot of cars representing my diverse lineage. But that would mean I couldn’t ever look at Italian even if I could afford one – I’d never be able to bring home Dino 246 and I’d have to start looking at Franco marques. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif

Of course I not sure where I’d find a vehicle made by the Cherokee nation? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Kenny, I think Bret is winking on that comment in reference to the proposed build site of the Chinese MG factory in Oklahoma. It is supposed to be in conjunction with a Cherokee Tribe.

Very, very nice! I always like the 928 - just too cheap to buy a nice one and scared of a cheap one!
