	Ciao Retroisti.... I have been looking around for a new set of wheels for The Shop Hack for next season, first I was going Air Cooler look but after testing a set of BRM's that look is a No, No (for my car), I picked up a set of Saab Turbo Inca wheels but they'r not really 100% right for the car. I have started to chase a set of Centerline rims and they are still #2 on the list, #1 would be a set of 7x15" Wolfrace or (Swedish) JP Slotmags but there are not alot of 4-bolt 15" around sadly..... After cruising some possible new looks for The Shop Hack I'm split between staying with the flat-paint-moon-disc-salt-flats-look or going for a NASCAR-Craftsman-Truck-look and while cruising those sites I got to look at Bassett www.bassettwheel.com wheels used by many NASCAR teams, they are even available in 4-bolt 13" & 15" sizes and a set of black 8x15"with the red stripe and yellow Bassett logo could look real cool with big numbers on doors & roof, front fenders packed with stickers and a window net...... Bassett 4-bolt sizes and real decent prizes: www.bassettwheel.com/legends_mini.html Looks real good in black.... ......or silver..... DP says: I hope we'll get a loooong winter so I get plenty of time to think this over.....

	dp: The black ones look amazingly cool...they'd look ace on the shop hack.
	I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

	Hmmm, You could feasibly run your Skoda at Bonny for real => look = cool Can't say you'd be able to ever run it in the middle of a Nascar pack though => look = a bit false Just my view!

	Hmmmmm Its a tough decision but I'm gunna say black although I don't know if i'd go with the whole NASCAR theme. I would probably just wack the wheels on cos they look cool.

	Yeah, s'pose I should have said, those wheels in black would look cool (if the others are chrome they're sure to go rusty in a winter?) just not convinced you'd need the whole NASCAR look.

	set in da house: Skoda at Bonny for real => look = cool Nascar pack though => look = a bit false That's right on the nose..... Although the Bassett's could be drilled for (screw on this time) Moon Discs so I'll have 2 options with those, also if I can find a set of Centerlines the'll be drilled for Moon Discs.... DP says: Feels more & more that I'll stick with the flat-paint-moon-disc-salt-flats-look for 2007....

	imho keep the salt flat look. surely you can find some 15" slutmags in bug pcd though? I'm SO pleased you gave me the link to basset wheels tho! NASCAR Calibra plans are SO coming together.

	Looks like they do a decently priced 7x14” 4-stud wheel too, with PCD’s of 4”, 4.25” (114.3), 4.5” and 100mm that should cover most of us here.

	keefy in da house: surely you can find some 15" slutmags in bug pcd though? Yeah and it would not be a problem having those redrilled for 4x100pcd but sadly all those I have found are 5.5x15" and I want to run a set of 7" rims on it...... DP says: Those Bassett's are cool, have a friend with a 55 Chevy 210 rolling on black 7x15" & 12x15", NASTY.....
