     Any way, I thought the high dollar Nardi wheels were considered
     "upgrades"
     I though MOMO were just another replacement wheel, I mean I see them
     on
     Rice burners all the time and I always remember Nardis on high
     dollar
     imports.
     Maybe it's just a perception thing?
