They're alloy, 10#, $160 apiece (although I did have to tell Jeff at
Weld that I would put stickers on my car for it - haven't put them
on yet but I fully intend to).  Have had *no* problems with them at
all.

13x6?  And you're squeezing 215/50-13 BFGs on them?  Scary...  13x9s
would definitely be better - I found them to be significantly better
than my 13x8s (although some of that has got to be the weight difference).

My hood still looks crummy... you just can't really see it in that pic.
The rest of my car looks OK - the silver paint doesn't really seem to
get dirty.  In fact (and I know everyone will be horrified by this), in
the 1.5 years that I've had the car I have *never* intentionally washed
it.  Snowmelt seems to do enough of a job by itself... :)

I will rescan the photos and put up some bigger ones, though.

He's got exactly the same wheels that I do.
