Oh and Derrick you don't want this $80 mod! Trust me!
As for the wheels.......I saw the shadow chrome ones.......WOW!!!!!! Me really wants now! The darker grey ones looked like sheet. And price is definitly a factor.
I changed my brakes last night for those that didn't catch it. Holy shit was the passenger rear hard to turn!!!! I stopped and did the drivers side......it was a brease! I dunno what is up with the passenger side but sheesh it was super hard! Put the new pads on and took it out for a drive. Did 6 80-0 runs and WOHHHH brake fade!!!! Drove for 10 min to cool down......brakes feel really nice. Not much change between old and new pads in the back but there isn't supposed to really. Oh yes ALL the rear pads had cracks doing right down the middle of the pad. I so knew there was a problem with my brakes........even though only 50% was gone.
I unfortunatly will not be making the Holiday party or consequently up to see Tom at his shop. I have to work all day Sat! Yes it sucks! How about we have a new years party.
Sorry to dissapoint guys. I tried!
Tom: I think the vibrations have been narowed down to CV joints in the rear end!

I will be at the shop at about 9:30 at the latest (sorry Derrick need to sleep). I need to run out and get some stuff in the morning and then I will probably get the work on my car done before hand (so I will more likely be there by 9:00. Who at this point is still coming up before the party? Those who are should bring spare clothes (Dana) if you plan on getting near the underside of a car. 
Any ideas on the final weather report for tomorrow? Also note that I am not absolutely sure how to get down to Francis's home as it has been a while and I have only been there once.

Jim,
Not sure if you have read this thread:

The GB is over, but I was interested in these wheels, so I PM'ed David. He replied and said he would still honor the GB price of $1,715 which is very reasonable. These are the lightest 17" rims I know of at 12/13 lbs front/rear.
