Lainey,

I did find some steel 14" wheels on line for $42.00 each. Just going to 14" wheels and tires would provide the best solution IMHO over the only 13" tires that Tire Rack or others have that will throw off the speedo due to the rolling circumference (rev's per mile) being different.

Although, I still like the idea of the Porsche

Thanks for the link.

If required I may have to go with plan B. As the only tire that Coker has are $188 per tire.

I found some 14" steel wheels on line for $42 each and many standard 14" tires that are priced around $60 per tire.

Let us know if Mom goes for the Porsche, or maybe she'll go with the BMW?

My son's dog is going stir crazy with all this snow in the yard. She needs to go out for walks, but we are too lazy and cold to do it.
