    Am I crazy or no?

    Recently I have been tossing around the idea of selling off my magnesium Americans. I really dont use them that much since the Ohio humidity keeps me polishing them more than I have time for. There are some upgrades that I would like to perform to the car (Bielstein seats, tires etc)and the sale of the wheels would help justify the purchases to the family financial advisor. On the other hand it would pain me to sell them since this is probably the nicest set that I have ever seen They truly set the car apart from all the others, but having them sit in the garage is hard to justify. What do you guys think?

    Note: Certain individuals who look for opportunities to critisize my magnesium wheels and car preperation can be assured that thier feelings are well understood and do not need to be reinterated again

    Geeze, I dunno..the car sure looks cool running them...I guess you just have to ask yourself which you want the most? The other upgrades or the wheels? OR...postpone the other upgrades until the $ are there for them, and keep the wheels? One thing is certain...if you sell them, they're gone. In the past, I've sold things that I now wish I hadn't...

    If they just collect dust in the garage, I'd sell them. What are you asking, by the way?

    The problem isn't actually keeping the wheels clean, it's hauling around John, his personal wheel cleaner from Canada. Now THAT get's expensive.
